今天DHS终于行动了!!

USCIS has yet to explain to students currently on a STEM extension whether their OPT will remain valid after Feb. 12th.

Now, DHS has asked the court to extend the stay from February 12th to May 10th in order to give the agency sufficient time to review all public comments and implement a final rule. We will have to wait for the court’s decision. My guess is that they will grant the request to extend the stay because of the grave consequences to students stuck in a regulatory gap and due to the unprecedented number of comments submitted in the rulemaking process. This is not a time for DHS to act hastily and put out a rule that may be attacked again in court.

At the same time, WashTech has appealed the court’s original decision and submitted its opening brief arguing that the OPT program itself is not authorized by congress.
