STEM OPT gives eligible F-1 students on active Post-Completion OPT an extra 24 months of work authorization. You must have a STEM degree, an E-Verify employer, and submit the STEM OPT Request Form with required documents.
\ud83d\udc49 This is the first step to get your new I-20 with a STEM OPT recommendation, which you must have before filing your application with USCIS.
Note: This page is only for students on active Post-Completion OPT seeking the STEM extension. For the standard 12-month OPT, use the OPT Request page instead.<\/p>\n\n
