On March 11, 2016, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security published a new rule pertaining to optional practical training (OPT) for students with degrees in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM). The new rule will increase the period of time that employers are permitted to retain certain F-1 students who are eligible for STEM-based extensions of their OPT work authorizations, but will impose a series of conditions and requirements on employers. Join us for a webinar that will review the critical details of the new STEM OPT rule and highlight the most important aspects for employers to bear in mind as they seek to take maximum advantage of the new rule’s provisions.
