5月10日生效的OPT新政最多给stem两次extension,总共可以有六年OPT。
前提是你两个级别的专业都是stem。
我认为最佳用法如下,欢迎讨论:
【第一个stem学历的OPT只用一年,不申请extension。一年中可H1B抽签一次。
如果不中,就读第二个stem更高学历。
毕业初始OPT一年,到期前申请第一个学历的extension(10年内有效)。
用完之前,再申请第二个学历的extension。
这样在更高学历情况下,OPT共五年。期间以更高学历申请H1B,成功率更高。】

【】内的解读是错误的,请大家不要轻信。2个extension是不能这样连着用的。要用2次的话,一定是读好一个 opt + ext 这样,不同学位两次。不能opt + ext + ext

Students: Determining STEM OPT Extension Eligibility

DHS grants STEM OPT extensions to eligible F-1 students once per degree level (i.e., bachelor's, master's or doctorate). A student may participate twice in the STEM OPT extension over the course of their academic career.
To participate twice in the STEM OPT extension, a student must earn a second qualifying degree, at a higher education level, and be participating in an initial period of OPT at the time they apply to USCIS for their second STEM OPT extension.
Degree
To qualify for the STEM OPT extension, an F-1 student must currently be working in a period of post-completion OPT and must hold a bachelor's degree or higher degree in an eligible STEM field from an SEVP-certified school that is accredited (from an accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education) at the time the student submits their STEM OPT extension application to USCIS.
Under certain circumstances, an F-1 student may use a prior STEM degree from a currently accredited SEVP-certified school to fulfill this eligibility requirement. To use a prior degree to qualify for the STEM OPT extension, the F-1 student must:
; Have received their most recent degree (which does not need to be STEM-related) from a currently accredited Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP)-certified school.
; Have received their prior, qualifying STEM degree* (at the bachelor's level or higher) within 10 years of applying for the STEM OPT extension with USCIS.
; The qualifying STEM degree needs to be on DHS's STEM Designated Degree Program List at the time the student submits their application for the STEM OPT extension, rather than at the time that the student received the degree.
For more information about which programs of study qualify for the STEM OPT extension, visit our eligible classification of instructional programs codes resource page.
