Any new employment undertaken while on the STEM Extension must meet the employment requirements detailed under "STEM Extension Employment Requirements and Employer Relationship" in the I-983 Training Plan. Students with a 24-Month STEM extension cannot begin new employment or report a change to their employment without first following the applicable steps below:
-
- For changes with the current employer, within 10 days of the changes being made you must submit an updated I-983 Training Plan detailing the change (e.g., supervisor, new responsibility, change in location). Please check with Massrt IEC if you are unsure if you need to submit an updated I-983 Training Plan.
- If you are ending employment, you must submit a completed Final Self Evaluation from page 5 of the I-983 Training Plan signed in ink by you and your employer within 10 days of ending the employment.
- To begin new employment, you must submit a new I-983 Training Plan signed in ink by you and your employer. The new I-983 must be confirmed by ISO as being complete and meeting all STEM program requirements before you can begin the new employment.
