Am I allowed to work for a non E-Verify participating company on STEM OPT?

Answer

While on your STEM-OPT, you must be working for an E-Verify enrolled employer. Any change in employer must be reported to your DSO and the correct I-983 paperwork submitted. Failure to take these steps could result in a determination of status violation and related adverse immigration consequences. (03.Jun.2019)
