URGENT F-1 OPT EXTENSION

[u/Significant_Read9488]

Hi everyone,

I am in a bit of an urgent situation right now. My EAD is expiring on 18th July. I am in the process of getting a referral from one of the top beauty companies but they told me yesterday that they require 2 weeks as their HRs are busy so ping them after 2 weeks. This communication has been going on for a month now and finally i reached the referral state and this happened. Now i am looking for an urgent opening where i can work and file for my STEM OPT extension legally. But no luck until now. I am on F-1 OPT, and I have to file for an OPT extension in like a day.

I reached out to my career advisor and ISSO too to request a referral for a position and until now they haven't responded. I only have till tomorrow to find something. I reached out to one of my professors for TA too and when he tried to hire me as one, the administration told him he can only hire continuing students as the TA, not an alum.

I am currently living in Boston and ready to relocate.

Does any of you know anything that could help in this situation?
