SEVP to Host Webinar on the STEM OPT 24-Month Extension Final Rule
On March 11, 2016, DHS published a final rule that will allow certain F-1 STEM students who have elected to pursue 12 months of optional practical training (OPT) in the United States to extend the OPT period by 24 months. The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) will hold a webinar on April 14, 2016, to discuss the new rule. F-1 students and school officials are encouraged to participate.
We encourage students and companies planning to hire STEM OPT students to attend. We will also be attending and give our feedback.
