OPT Extensions

Q&A of the Day: Can I Extend My 17 Month Stem Opt To 24 Months?

Yes, if you currently hold a STEM Employment Authorization Card you may apply to extend it for an additional 7 months, if:

  • You file when you have at least 150 days remaining on your current STEM EAD
  • You file by August 8, 2016

Your employer will need to complete the new I-93 form outlining a training plan and you will need to work with your DSO to prepare the filing.
