What types of employment are permissible during the STEM OPT period?
The 24-month STEM OPT period is limited to certain employers and employment opportunities, as follows:
As noted above, a STEM OPT employer must be enrolled in and using the E-Verify program at the STEM OPT worksite.
A STEM OPT employer must have an Employment Identification Number (EIN).
The employment opportunity must be directly related to the student’s qualifying STEM degree.
There must be an employer-employee relationship between the employer and the F-1 student. During the STEM OPT period, employment for a staffing agency and other labor-for-hire arrangement will not qualify.
Volunteer employment does not qualify.
An F-1 may not work concurrently for multiple employers during the STEM OPT period.
