OPT STEM Extension - New Employer Report
Employer Updates During STEM OPT
Students approved for the 24-month OPT STEM extension are required to update their employer information within 10 days whenever they start working for a new employer. To do so, please complete the following form and submit a new I-983 to update your STEM OPT employment details.
Additionally, you must submit the I-983 final evaluation from your previous employer to isss@ucmo.edu along with the new I-983 form to complete the update process.
Inaccurate I-983 Fee
A $100 STEM OPT Case Management Fee will be applied if an inaccurate I-983 form is submitted more than once. To help you avoid this additional fee, make sure you submit the I-983 correctly the first time. We have several resources available under the "OPT STEM Extension – Request" section on this page to guide you through the process.
