Might have gotten myself into trouble when I forgot to update SEVP Portal when I left my job in July
Long story short, I am currently on STEM-OPT, which will expire in Sept 2021. Back in July, I decided to quit my previous job and use my unemployment days on my STEM-OPT to travel around the US. At the time, I was seriously considering leaving the US so I did not bother to meet with my DSO and ask about any procedure that needed to be taken.
Fast forward to a few months later, I decided to try to find a job in the US and continue staying in the US until at least my STEM-OPT runs out. I was also hoping to start my application for self-petition green card (EB2-NIW). I am in the interview process with a few companies and already have an official offer that I'm considering.
What is the best to find out if the lack of update on my SEVP portal affected my STEM-OPT status? I have scheduled a meeting with my DSO on Friday, but would like to have more information before that, since I'm talking to companies about hiring me right now.
Thanks in advance!
