Recently, the D.C. Circuit Court decided for the U.S. government<\/strong> in a claim brought by a worker’s union, holding the F-1 optional practical training (OPT) and STEM OPT programs <\/strong>were lawfully enacted. The association ineffectively contended that the rule passed by Congress that made the F-1 program<\/strong> did not allow for any kind of work authorization. The court, however, found that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has the power to provide F-1 students<\/strong> with work authorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background on F-1 OPT Programs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A qualified F-1 student might utilize the OPT program<\/strong> to get as long as a year of employment authorization<\/strong>. To perform work straightforwardly related to the significant area of study. OPT might be granted either pre-or post-completion of the program of study. In addition, an F-1 student signed up for a science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) program<\/strong>. It might be qualified to apply for a STEM OPT expansion<\/strong>, which gives work authorization for 24<\/strong> extra months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OPT Program is Reasonably Related to F-1 Student\u2019s Purpose of Entry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Under the OPT program, F-1 students are approved to work for one year <\/strong>in the United States to enhance participating students’ abilities. To achieve the goals of the study by allowing them to acquire significant information<\/strong>. And skills through on-the-job training that may be unavailable in their home countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DHS also made the STEM OPT program, which grants F-1 students in STEM fields<\/strong> an additional two years of work authorization. Because they “need practical training<\/strong> in a workplace setting to operationalize their new knowledge.” In this manner, the Court held that the STEM OPT program is \u201creasonably related to an F-1 student\u2019s <\/strong>purpose of earning the U.S. degree. Since it gives training for skills acquired through the degree program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This decision by the federal appeals court maintains the status quo of the F-1 OPT<\/strong> and STEM OPT programs. This is a gigantic help, as the availability of OPT helps to attract foreign national students<\/strong>. Also, to pursue their education in the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
