 Stay tuned...........

The Homeland Security Department asked the White House OMB on March 31, 2008 to clear the interim final rule to publish in the federal register to extend OPT for 17 months. This is an interim final rule and as soon as it is published it will take effect. This means the the OPT period will be 29 months for certain F-1 students in OPT: current 12 plus 17 month extension.

Details will be posted as soon as it is out!
