We are delighted that you are joining us for an internship during your OPT period.

 

Please bookmark this page, so you can return to it and find the following information and links.

 

EFFECTIVE DATE AND TIMING OF OFFER LETTER

This page and the materials cited below specify certain items and information we need from you.

After you submit everything, we will send you your Offer Letter, so that you can submit your internship to the OPT portal. The effective date of the Offer Letter will be the date you submit the last of the required materials (or a later date if you prefer, for instance if you need to wait for your EAD start date).

In any event, we will endeavor to send the Offer letter within three business days of the time we receive your materials.

You are allowed ten days from the Effective date of the Offer Letter to file it with the portal, so this gives you plenty of time.

 

REQUIRED INFO AND MATERIALS

 Please do the following onboarding tasks:

 

SOCIAL MEDIA BANNER

• • First, submit the short form called Intern Social Banner, which appears at https://form.jotform.com/232965412943057
  • As that form explains and illustrates, we will use the info and photo you submit to generate a personalized social media banner.
  • The confirmation message and confirmation email will provide instructions on how to retrieve that banner, how to post it, and how to report to us. Please post it to Linkedin and to any your social media accounts you have, as it will improve your online presence and help you look good whenever anyone (including a potential employer) searches you online.
  • Then use the Social Banner Posting Report 2023_11_10 form to confirm that you have posted that banner. Find it at: https://form.jotform.com/230345784371155 (If you do not have a Linkedin account, you are severely undermining your job search, so be sure to create one).
