5 ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) Provides Guidance About the Implementation of Recent Modifications to the F-1 Program and Post- Completion OPT 1. Students on post-completion OPT may have up to an aggregate of 90 days of unemployment during the post-completion OPT period. Students who have OPT extended due to the cap gap provisions and who are unemployed continue to accrue unemployment time and are subject to the 90-day limitation on unemployment. Students who receive a 17-month STEM OPT extension are given an additional 30 days of unemployment for a total of 120 days over their entire post-completion OPT period. 2. A student must work at least 20 hours per week when on post-completion OPT. Volunteering does count as employment for post-completion OPT. However, volunteer work does not count as employment during the STEM OPT extension period. 3. OPT stem extension students may work multiple jobs but all the employers must be enrolled in E-Verify system. 4. ICE encourages students to report changes of employment to their DSOs as soon as possible to ensure that their F-1 status does not expire due to excess unemployment time. Additionally, ICE encourages students to keep a record of all reports made to the DSOs and the method by which the report is made in case ICE contacts the students to verify employment and the maintenance of F-1 status. 5. A student with a dual major with one of the degrees on the STEM Designated Degree Program List may qualify for a STEM OPT extension. However, a student can not qualify for a STEM OPT extension based on a minor. 6. After being recommended for a STEM OPT extension, students must file the Form I-765 with the proper USCIS Service Center before their current post-completion OPT expires. USCIS recommends that students file within days prior to the expiration date of the current post-completion OPT. With the Form I-765, students must provide either a copy of their official transcripts, unofficial transcripts or a copy of their diploma showing the level and program of study. 7. In order to qualify for a STEM OPT extension, the students employer must be enrolled in the E-Verify system. There is currently no public list of employers enrolled in E- Verify. 8. A student may work with an expired post-completion OPT Employment Authorization Document (EAD) for up to 180 days while a STEM OPT extension application is pending, assuming that the application is filed prior to the end of the post-completion OPT period. 9. Students on STEM OPT extensions are required to send their DSO a validation report every six months starting from the date STEM extension starts and ending when the F-1
6 students status ends or the STEM extension ends, whichever is first. The validation report must include the students full legal name, SEVIS identification number, current mailing and residential address, the name and address of the current employer and the date the student began working for the current employer.
