I am currently on 17 months STEM OPT. I was employed throughout my initial 12 months OPT. However, I recently got laid off from my job. How many days of unemployment is allowed during 17 months STEM OPT?
According USCIS website 90 days of unemployment is allowed for initial OPT and additional 30 days is allowed for 17 months OPT allowing total of 120 days throughout the OPT period.
Does that mean I will need to find a job within 30 days? I would really appreciate if somebody could clarify me on this.
Thank you.
