Details on the Proposed STEM OPT Rule
Sunday, October 25th, 2015
Reports are that DHS has begun circulation of one of Obama’s employment-based executive actions which is also in response to a judge’s order that struck down the existing STEM OPT program for a lack of a notice & commenting period with the issuance of the 2008 interim rule. The public will have 30 days (until November 18) to comment on the proposed rule. You can view the notice in the Federal Register here
The Rule will make several changes to the F-1 STEM OPT program. Most importantly, the STEM OPT extensions would increase from 17 to 24 months.
