With what i read here, I don't think students with Associates degree are eligible for extension of post-completion OPT

because it clearly says in the requirement that student must have a Bachelors degree...

What are the eligibility requirements for the 17-month extension of post-completion OPT?

• The student must have a bachelor’s, master’s or doctorate degree in a STEM field. 

 
i too wish they would change though !
