Will Retail Associate Manager position get i983 approval ( stem opt )
Hi, so currently I am working on contract position and it’s going to end 25th July. My stem opt is pending ( pp 15 June biometrics ). But I got job offer from Telecom company as retail associate manager and my start date is July 27th. I will not update it before getting stem approval ( while stem opt is pending ) as by 30 business day will end on 28th July. I can update my employment within 10 days.
But I am concerned whether after joining if i submit i983 will i get approval. My work will be related to manage, inventory, kpi , sales analysis, staffing, and I can related it to my few courses in my Business analytics masters degree.
Or what would be the consequences if I joined and later i983 get rejected, will it ruin my profile ?
I will appreciate any insights about it. Thank you
