Free F-1 student planning tool
Use this planning tool to organize your STEM OPT extension deadline and prepare for the documents and employer details involved.
STEM OPT extension eligibility includes a qualifying STEM degree, an E-Verify employer, and a completed Form I-983 training plan. Your DSO reviews the information and issues the required I-20 recommendation.
USCIS permits a STEM OPT extension filing up to 90 days before your current OPT expires. Use the date below to plan early, and verify current filing instructions, fees, and document requirements before submitting Form I-765.
