  • Changing employer while on OPT--extension issues

    I am currently working for an employer on OPT.. for the last 7 months.. my OPT is about to expire and I need to apply for extension soon..

    I have another offer from a different company and its in the location I want and the job is something I want to do for any cost.. The offer is about 50% less than that of the job I currently have..

    is there any consequences if I take a job for less $ amount at the time of OPT extension.. (the first offer letter i submitted to get the OPT approved indicated the higher pay amount) If I submit the new offer letter with the less pay amount will i get questioned as to why?

    is there a minimum pay condition for OPT (or OPT extension?)
    Could you please give a solution to this?

    Thanks in advance

    There is no such requirement from OPT point of view. The employer of course has to pay the minimum wage for that job according to labor laws. But that is their problem.
    For OPT extension the employer must be enrolled in eVerify and the job must be in your field of study.
    This is my opinion and not legal advice.

      They are e-verified but could you please let me know, what is the minimum wage the employer should be able to pay me.

        That depends on the job. That is employer's concern, not yours. It will not affect OPT extension.
