According to new regulations proposed by DHS, Students with STEM degrees can stay in US for a total of six years under OPT - three years after finishing an undergraduate program, and then three years after a graduate program. This would give them as much work time in the US as under the H1-B program.
The proposal would allow F-1 STEM students with 12 months of OPT to extend by 24 months (STEM OPT extension). This 24-month extension would effectively replace the 17-month current STEM OPT extension. This proposed rule is published in Federal Registry and open for comments until November 18th, 2015.
With the new proposed rule, OPT students have many questions and to assist them DesiOPT.com is collaborating with group of Attorneys to provide free advice. In addition, OPT student are actively posting questions on DesiOPT Facebook & Forum to discuss and share experiences.
