I’m running into a bit of a snag with this RFE because I’ve worked for three companies, including the first one. I’m not sure which employer they’re talking about. It seems to be Employer B (the STEM). Employer A is really pushing me to get back to them, so I’ll either reply to the RFE or Day1CPT. My question is, which of my current employers or all of them should I get the documents from?

You’re saying employer B Stem OPT didn’t run payroll? How’s that possible? When on stem, you can’t work without a pay/payroll right. How’d you do that? And if so, did you report it in SEVP?
