Question

我的employer是sole proprietor, 但是有我们之间有bona fide employer-employee relationship, 也是e-verify, 我也拿工资. 

可是在聊到employment relationships的时候，DHS说

There are several aspects of the STEM OPT extension that do not make it apt for certain types of arrangements, including multiple employer arrangements, sole proprietorships, employment through “temp” agencies, employment through consulting firm arrangements that provide labor for hire, and other relationships that do not constitute a bona fide employer-employee relationship. 

不知道这个sole proprietorships指self-employment吗?还可以申请吗?

谢谢。

Answer 1

法律指的是OPT extension持有者不能是self employed。并未对雇主公司类型做出限定。您的雇主可以是sole proprietorship这种类型。您可以申请。
