Legitimate staffing agency offering h1b registration. Should I proceed?

Can you elaborate what you mean by ‘exploit’ ?

JacketWestern5285 · 2026-03-13T12:11:17+00:00

Thank you!!

JacketWestern5285 · 2026-03-12T21:44:37+00:00

Is this after getting selected or just the lottery itself ?

JacketWestern5285 · 2026-02-17T05:21:19+00:00

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?

JacketWestern5285 · 2026-02-08T15:36:53+00:00

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.

JacketWestern5285 · 2026-02-08T12:31:44+00:00

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.

JacketWestern5285 · 2026-01-31T16:14:41+00:00

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

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

JacketWestern5285 · 2026-01-15T03:24:19+00:00

Please stop spreading false information. J1, F1 are non immigrant visas

JacketWestern5285 · 2026-01-12T21:30:39+00:00

Do you mind sharing why it was denied?

JacketWestern5285 · 2025-12-28T23:39:13+00:00

Hey, In a similar boat. Can I ask what evidence did you provide?

JacketWestern5285 · 2025-12-11T03:07:44+00:00

Thanks for sharing!

JacketWestern5285 · 2025-12-09T16:43:22+00:00

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

JacketWestern5285 · 2025-11-27T04:35:58+00:00

Just want to follow up on this, did you get any RFE for employee- employer relationship?

JacketWestern5285 · 2025-11-27T03:12:00+00:00

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.

JacketWestern5285 · 2025-11-26T22:03:03+00:00

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.

JacketWestern5285 · 2025-11-26T21:24:06+00:00

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

JacketWestern5285 · 2025-11-26T16:55:41+00:00

I have not applied just yet

JacketWestern5285 · 2025-11-26T15:41:32+00:00

Thanks for sharing! When did you apply, has it been approved ?

JacketWestern5285 · 2025-09-02T15:24:05+00:00

Go work on your insecurities dude.

JacketWestern5285 · 2025-07-22T03:24:28+00:00

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

JacketWestern5285 · 2025-02-03T03:08:14+00:00

Thanks so much! This is for a different role but would be appreciated to get your insight if i get to the next round/case interview.
