OPT延长或许被取消，求证实

刚从一个比较靠谱的学长那里得到消息，说stem专业的opt extension被取消了。

Immigration voice just reported  :

Judge rules that the Regulation for extending the STEM OPT to 29 months (from 12 months) was done inappropriately and is thus invalid.

This ruling will become effective on February 12, 2016.

According to our analysis, someone working on F1-OPT-EAD will not be able to work after the 12th month period unless they get a work permit via other means.

Even though DHS can & probably will reintroduce this rule and go through the proper regulatory (lengthy) process, it should not be taken for granted that there will be any rule in place by February 12, 2016 authorizing any extension.

在网上也查了一下，不像假的，地里的同学快来分析分析，如果是真的该怎么办。。。

也被朋友圈刷屏了……这要我们工科狗怎么活，真要明年取消的话，理工科硕士从之前的抽3次变成只抽一次了，本来中签率就40%多点，就不说40%里面近一半被三哥分掉，智利新加坡各种国家还有固定名额，估计华人能有20%都烧高香了，而且前提是你还要找得到愿意帮你sponsor H1B的大公司，真的是不敢想象，干脆全部直接赶回来算了……
修改：说错，刚刚看到数据，计算机相关行业86%的H1B给了三哥，中国人虽然排在第二，但是只有5%，真的还是比较凄凉……

按我的理解，DHS 2008年发布STEM extension 不符合发布流程，所以这个extension被判定无效。“如果”DHS能在2016年2月之前按照规定reintroduce，则不会有影响。
