Just to add, Make sure his new role also relates to his degree field

Miguel Al · Answer

Yes, but the new employer must be E-Verify registered and follow STEM reporting rules.

If your friend’s STEM OPT extension is approved, he can work for a new E-Verify employer. He should update his Form I-983 with the new employer’s information promptly.
