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.
