STEM OPT 最常见的卡点不是学生不会填表，而是：

HR 不懂 STEM OPT
manager 不知道 I-983 是什么
公司不知道自己是不是 E-Verify
换工作时不知道怎么收尾
DSO 要求很细

这篇整理了可以直接复制的 HR / manager / DSO 邮件模板。

符合条件的 F-1 STEM 学位学生可以申请 24-month STEM OPT extension；STEM OPT 学生需要和雇主一起完成 Form I-983，并且在 STEM OPT 期间有定期 reporting requirements。

一、问 HR 是否 E-Verify

Subject: STEM OPT Extension and E-Verify Confirmation

Hi [HR Name],

I am currently on F-1 OPT and may be eligible for the 24-month STEM OPT extension. One requirement is that my employer participates in E-Verify.

Could you please confirm whether [Company Name] is enrolled in E-Verify and who can help complete the employer section of Form I-983?

Thank you,
[Name]

二、给 manager 解释 I-983

Subject: STEM OPT Form I-983 Training Plan

Hi [Manager Name],

For my STEM OPT extension, my school requires Form I-983, which describes my training plan, supervision, and how my role relates to my STEM degree.

I drafted the sections related to my role, learning objectives, and supervision plan. Could we review it together before HR signs the form?

Thank you,
[Name]

三、问 DSO 材料要求

Subject: STEM OPT Extension Requirements

Hi [DSO Name],

I am preparing my STEM OPT extension application. Could you please confirm the documents required by the school and the current processing time for issuing the STEM OPT recommendation I-20?

My current OPT EAD expires on [date], and my employer is [company name].

Thank you,
[Name]
[SEVIS ID]

四、HR 不懂 I-983 时怎么解释

Hi [HR Name],

Form I-983 is a training plan required for the STEM OPT extension. It outlines the student's role, learning objectives, supervision, and how the employment relates to the student's STEM degree.

The form requires input and signature from the employer. I am happy to provide a draft and coordinate with my manager and the school DSO.

Thank you.

五、换工作前提醒邮件

发给旧雇主：

Subject: STEM OPT Final Evaluation

Hi [Manager / HR],

As I will be ending my employment with [Company Name] on [date], my school requires me to complete the final evaluation section of Form I-983.

Could we review and sign the final evaluation before my last day?

Thank you.

发给新雇主：

Subject: STEM OPT Employer Requirements

Hi [HR Name],

I am currently on STEM OPT and will need to update my school with new employer information before starting employment.

Could you please confirm:
1. Whether [Company Name] is enrolled in E-Verify;
2. Who can help complete and sign Form I-983;
3. The official company information to be used on the form?

Thank you.

六、STEM OPT 自查清单

公司是否 E-Verify：
HR 是否知道 STEM OPT：
manager 是否愿意签 I-983：
DSO 要求是否确认：
I-983 是否写清楚 training objective：
是否记录 6 / 12 / 18 / 24 个月报告：
换工作是否完成旧 I-983 final evaluation：
新公司是否完成新 I-983：
SEVIS 信息是否更新：

七、I-983 不要写太空

不要只写：

software development
data analysis
improve communication skills

可以写得更具体：

使用机器学习模型优化推荐系统
在 senior engineer 指导下完成模型评估
通过 code review、weekly meeting 和季度项目复盘评估 training progress
工作内容与 Computer Science / Data Science 专业训练直接相关

不要公开这些信息

完整 I-983
公司 E-Verify number
I-20
SEVIS ID
EAD
护照
住址
公司 confidential 信息
内部项目细节
