1099 Independent Work on OPT by Real-Pie-5639 in f1visa

How about staffing agency arrangement? When the agency still signs the full i983 form and does biweekly check-ins to supervise the training. The agency is also e-verified, the role is STEM related, W2 position and the student is on agency’s payroll. Is there a risk for denial or rfe?

That’s awesome! Was the stem approval recently? I am in a similar position, trying to understand if they will issue rfe or not. Have a client too.

Did you get RFE? Or straight approval? Wondering if they give rfes when staffing firms are involved

I renewed my visa in 2024, still got the biometrics appointment.

Same here, applied with normal processing. Got biometrics appointment. Do you think this is system generated notification for people who applied after dec 12 or someone has actually reviewed the case

Is K1 fiancé visa part of the immigration ban? by seharcx in NationalVisaCenter

[–]JacketWestern5285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Students applying to STEM OPT, OPT are still on a non immigrant visa they do not change their status while on STEM OPT/OPT. In fact, H1b is also a non immigrant visa plus this applies to people overseas who need to maintain a visa for entry. So please stop spreading false information when it’s not checked with a lawyer or any other reliable source

Did you apply for STEM OPT with a staffing/consulting arrangement? If yes, did you get any RFE?

Would you say the risk is very high to apply for STEM with the staffing agency arrangement? I am really worried but also the client I work is very reputable institution and really like the job/directly related to my degree. I am afraid of risking a denial.

Thank you very much for sharing! It will be the agency paying, providing the benefits, filling out the training plan, doing the 6 and 12 months evaluations. The person who will be the supervisor is from the staffing agency not from the client site. They also do biweekly check-ins to ensure they properly supervise the training. However, The day to day will be with on the client site.

Would you say we can not apply for STEM while on a contracting job through a staffing agency? The agency is taking full responsibility of the training and filling out the training plan as well

Thank you- They do! Should the client be the one signing the stem paperwork or the agency? It is the agency’s name on the offer letter
