I worked for a company for 6 months when I heard that it's being acquired by another company, in the next 3-4 months. Since the date of merger wasn't confirmed, I applied for STEM OPT under the old companies name. The merger took place on January 1st (My new start date) but my STEM OPT started on 4th Feb. So I got my STEM OPT approved for my old company (company still exists after merger but dormant). My H1B got picked this year with the new (merged) company. How should I let the USCIS know that I work for the new (merged) company. My advisor is telling me to put a different start date (other than Jan 1st), after March (so that it would look like the merger happened after I received the STEM OPT). But my H1 application was filed on March 15th (and got picked for this year) and the new offer letter (after merger) states that start date with new company is January 1st. Would really appreciate any help.
