    Default How to Respond to a RFE on an OPT Extension

    Hi,

    I started working as a full time employee on CPT from August 2015. I graduated in Dec 2015 and my CPT expired on Dec 31st 2015.

    While filling my OPT application form in OCT 2015, I filled in Jan 4th 2016 as my OPT start date since I thought Jan 1st, 2nd and 3rd are holidays so Jan 4th can be my OPT start date. But then it dint come to my mind that I would still be an employee of my company during those three days.

    Now when I got my RFE on OPT extension, they asked me for my start and end dates of my employment history, I am confused if Aug 2015 would be my start date or Jan 4th 2016? I never had any termination in between.

    Please advice?

    Thanks
    Rani

    We have no access to the RFE, and your question is a bit muddy. If they are asking for start and end dates for each period of employment, then you would provide those dates for each employer (if there's more than one). If there's one employer involved, you have told us that you started in August, 2015. Beyond that, consider asking your employer(s) to give you a letter stating your start dates and (for any past employer) end dates.
