    关于OPT的临时新政策

    <http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/press_opt_ifr.pdf>

    今天详细阅读了DHS(美国国土安全部) 4月2日的一份文件,关于OPT(专业相关的实习或培训)的期限,由原定12个月再增加17个月,即最多29个月。前提是攻读基础科学学位(science, technology, engineering, or mathematics; STEM)的国际学生,包括数学、农业科学、生物科学、化学、物理、天文学、地质科学和工程学等学科;对于非STEM专业的学生,OPT不能延长,并且在OPT生效期间,unemployment状态不能超过90天,否则将失去F-1(非移民签证,国际学生)身份。而OPT最迟可以在毕业后60天生效。也就是说,非STEM专业的学生必须在毕业后5个月内找到工作。

    这对于读商科的学生来说,是一个十分严重的利空。

    目前美国经济不景气,失业率不断上涨,DHS此举既满足了部分高科技公司的请求,也能减弱国际学生在人文、商业等行业的竞争力,进而控制美国国民的失业率。

    此外,这份文件亦带来一个也是唯一一个好消息,即对于已递交并在等待H1B(工作签证)的国际学生,其身份将自动延长直至收到H1B结果为止。此举令国际学生无须考虑究竟选择“何时毕业”这个问题了,因为只要找到工作并及时递交了H1B申请,即便超过了60天的grace period,也能安然无恙地留在美国国内等待H1B的申请结果。

    目前这个临时政策还未正式实施,有60天的公众评议期(comment period),期间如若没有遇到强烈反对,那么comment period过后即将生效。据网上消息,目前已有部分大学生连同大学商学院、商业界雇主试图向有关当局提出异议陈述。

    对于此事,小弟密切关注中。
