UPDATE on new STEM OPT Rule

The new STEM OPT rule that we discussed here, is in final review by USCIS.  Expectations are that it should be published by March 10, 2016 with an effective date no later than May 10th, the last day of the hold issued by the Court.

At this point we do not know if any changes will be made to the rule as we described it previously, but as soon as the final rule is published we will make sure to let you know the final parameters of the new rule.
