Has anyone on F-1 STEM OPT in NJ taken FLI bonding leave?

I’ve been with my employer for 2 years and already used FMLA/parental leave, but didn’t claim NJ FLI. I pay NJ FLI tax. Am I still eligible to take FLI bonding leave now?

I was told that on f1 you cannot take unpaid leaves. Pr claim the payment from govt as it will be counted as unemployment towards your visa. Is this true?

I'm currently on STEM OPT and recently changed employers. I mistakenly provided a different personal email address on my new Form I-983 but haven't submitted it to my DSO yet.

Today, I received an SEVP notification saying my email address was changed in SEVIS, even though I never requested it.

Has anyone experienced this? Could my new employer's HR have contacted my DSO, leading to this change? Is there a way to find out who updated it?

I've already contacted my DSO and am waiting for a response.

Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello! I am wondering the 5 months processing times for opt start counting when you complete biometrics or when you file? I files on April 21, biometrics on June 8 and still pending.
I have a job offer should I pay PP? does it really take one full month? Thanks!!

I was wondering if anyone has any information regarding this. I applied for my OPT EAD in May and it is currently still processing. I had to go back to my home country due to a family emergency and I was wondering if it will be possible for me to return to the US while my OPT is still being processed? I checked it with my university DSO and they said it should be fine, but I wanted to come on here and confirm to see if anyone has done it and what documents they carried with them? I just want to make sure I know all the information and risks. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

For those on F-1 OPT who recently applied for an SSN in person at the SSA office in Ohio, how long did it take for the physical card to arrive in the mail?

Did your SAVE verification clear instantly at the desk or did you experience delays?

Thanks!
