Changing employers during OPT - Is relieving letter mandatory

[mmickey]

I am on OPT. I am changing my employer. Is it mandatory to submit the relieving letter from the previous employer. The international students organization insists on getting a relieving letter. Somebody please help.

If ISO needs it, then it is probably right.

The problem is the employer is not willing to give a relieving letter. It is not ther company policy

There is nothing like a relieving letter in the US. Get an employment verification letter that should have your start and end dates.

the employer is not willing to respond to my email even. It was a volunteer work and i guess he is not happy. What do i do.
