Please note that a studentâs post-completion OPT employer does not need to be the same as the studentâs STEM OPT extension employer. Students in 60-Day Grace Period Like the 17-month STEM OPT extension, students may not apply for STEM OPT extensions during the 60-day grace period following an initial (usually 12-month) period of post-completion OPT. Accordingly, if a student anticipates that they will enter the 60-day grace period before May 10, 2016, the student should not wait to apply.
2) Duration of status and work authorization will be extended for a student approved for OPT, who is the beneficiary of a timely-filed H-1B petition requesting an employment start date of October 1 of the following fiscal year.This would apply to all students on OPT, not just STEM students.: F-1 students who have been enrolled in legal status for a minimum of nine months are eligible for up to twelve (12) months of Optional Practical Training (OPT) work authorization by the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS).
