Hi Peter, is it possible for someone on OPT STEM extension to be self employed either by forming a company or operating as an independent contractor?

- proberts 7y agoSort of. You should check with your school because in the end, it's really the school and not the government that makes this determination. But there's really no self-employment under STEM OPT. If the employment is through your own company, then there needs to be a structure in place where you are supervised by someone and don't control your own employment.
- sbolt 7y agoOk great, thanks for the help Peter, your contributions to the HN community are amazing!
