The OPT extension policy states that "DHS continues to believe that practical training is frequently a key element of F-1 students' educational experience, and that STEM students in particular may benefit from an extended period of time in practical training." I highly agree with this statement. I have seen negative impact of this in our lab.  

In our lab, a post-doc left before completing her project as she has used up her OPT practical training time. Now, a PhD student is taking on her work. But sometimes, he is not sure about the conditions of the experiment that the post-doc carried out. So, he needs to send email to her to ask. This is very inefficient. It is uncertain how long it will take for post-doc to reply. This is just one thing that makes the project lag behind. Both professors and the PhD students are worried if this project is till worth pursuing.

Doing projects is one of the most common way of practical training for STEM students. The projects usually takes at least one year and sometimes takes two to three years to complete. For example, in our lab which is biomedical focused, a average project length is two year. I just start working on one project now, but I'll graduate in December. If there is no OPT extension, I'm unable to complete my project before I will be forced to return home. Someone will need to take my work to finish the project. But this requires much more extra time for the person to know what exactly I am doing. It takes time, sometimes several month for a person to master using an experimental equipment. It is also unreasonable to abandon the project, as the expenses put into the project has been a lot.

I would like to submit my comments in response to this proposed rule, regarding to Docket ID: ICEB-2015-0002. Extension of OPT for F-1 nonimmigrant students with STEM doesn't benefit the U.S. government and U.S. local residents. I strongly disagree to approving this rule on Oct 19, 2015.

First, the new proposed extension of OPT benefits neither local businesses nor U.S. economy. Most of students who just graduate from school and want this extension are not well-trained or rich-experience technical employees. From a local business perspective, companies are looking for rich-experience and well-communicated technical employees. Apparently, the population of new international students with OPT is not a good option. International students can't stay as long as U.S. residents unless they can gain H1B visas. No matter how long this extension is, the issue won't be solved and companies won't be able to gain lots of benefits from training the new international grads with new extension STEM OPT as long as the number of H1B approved visas still remains small. In contrast, the international students will use the experience they learned from U.S. companies against U.S. companies and hurts U.S. economy for a long run after they go home with 2 or 3 years work experience in U.S.

Second, most of international student employees with OPT don't pay Social Security taxes and Medicare taxes because the tax exemption from IRS. If they want to stay and work in U.S. longer, I suggest that they should apply for H1B instead of using new proposed extension of OPT. It's unfair for local people who live and work hard here but pay more taxes. It's about fairness and equal justice. What's more, the more position filled by international students with OPT; the fewer social security taxes will be collected. It will be a new burden of U.S. government to continue paying retirement pension with less social security taxes. Hence, no new extension is necessary and new proposed rule is not a good solution.

Third, the new OPT extension has side effect of stabilizing U.S. population. I suspect whether U.S. government is ready for a new wave of immigrations caused by the new OPT extension. According to the U.S. immigration and population growth, U.S. Immigration currently contributes over 2.25 million people to the U.S. population annually. And this new proposed rule will boost the population to another heap. It will be too late if we don't take any action to stabilize U.S. population. Population has been a concern of environmentalists since the first Earth Day in 1970. What's more, all of F-1 non-immigration visa holders should not have the immigration intent otherwise it will invalidate the initial purpose to enter U.S. It may cause the difficulty for future international students studying here as the suspicion of immigration intent.

Fourth, providing more OPT opportunities to STEM graduates will NOT assist U.S. companies in the application of the latest strategies and techniques in the field. In contrast, they will limit opportunities to American students. For a better quality of work, people enjoy the localized service. With no doubt, American students can do it better than anyone else in the world. Also, international students who hold the second or third year OPT extension will also limit opportunities to other international students who just enter the job markets. This will discourage the students studying in U.S. This proposed rule only benefits the new international grads at most recent 2 years. After that, it will be a nightmare since no new grads will enjoy the saturation of job market.

Fifth, our government is built and formed by our people. We are paying taxes years over years. U.S. government should pay every penny on the U.S. residents instead of irrelevant foreign citizen. In a word, they are not our people and we don't want to spend any penny on them.

The Duration of the STEM Extension should be cancelled. With this comment, I urge you support the U.S. economy by NOT implementing this new rule. Thank you for your consideration and time.

I strongly agree with this proposal and the reasons supporting the proposal are clear and reasonable. My concern is about obtaining the STEM OPT extension based on prior qualifying STEM degree. I strongly agree with this point and here is the reason why this action is good. This could make interdisciplinary fields more attractive to international talents. Unlike traditional fields like natural science, these fields require students to have deep understanding in various fields, one example is the human computer interface (HCI) which is an important and innovative study area. It requires student have knowledge related to psychology, arts and computer science. A student who comes from one of the fields I mentioned has the great chance want to learn another fields degree because these fields are separated by a traditional category but are all important to him/her the research area. If OPT extension could cover the students who devote themselves to these interdisciplinary fields, it could bring more talents to the U.S. and help the U.S. educational system maintain its reputation and innovation among the world.

草，前天评论的居然还没发出来，怒了，换台电脑换个浏览器，刷了一条简单直接的：

As a current STEM-er on OPT, I never consider myself cheap labor. I am NOT hired because I demand less salary than others who do not get the job (I am earning a higher salary than most coworkers with the same title.) I am hired because I am expertise in software developing and I have done brilliantly in job interviews. America, please keep the talents that have proven themselves in job interviews. Thank you.
