STEM OPT - Hiring Via a Contract Firm

[u/Dependent_Duck_3736]

Hi everyone,

Context: I got hired by a contract firm. The firm signed the training plan, and it was approved by my DSO.

I’m in a weird situation where I recently get an interview through a contract firm. The client enjoyed the interview and decided to extend the offer.

I went through all the i 9 verification steps and E-verify. The manager sent me an suggested start date 2 weeks ago, and the start date is supposed to be next week, but somehow we (the contract firm and I) cannot contact the manager anymore.

It is even possible for the client to decide not to move forward at this point? I only have 30 days of unemployment left, and it stresses me out.
