I strongly support the extension of OPT for STEM graduate students. Firstly these guys are the high caliber ones of their generation. Miss out them is a huge lost for the States in science reserch and economical development aspects. Secondly they filled the employee gap in the STEM industry as we all konw not too much native grads are interested in STEM degrees. Therefore, thirdly, they international grad won't make substantial impact to their American counterparts. The pros are much more than the possible cons.

I support this OPT extension policy. First, I once saw a report from US NEWS "Short on STEM Talent".   The link is below: http://www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2014/09/15/the-stem-worker-shortage-is-real    So there is no denying that STEM international student will provide much drive for decreasing the shortness of STEM students. So there should be a extension of OPT. "STEM skills drive innovation" The link is below : http://www.adeccousa.com/employers/resources/Pages/infographic-stem-skills-are-driving-innovation.aspx          Without doubt , F-1 STEM students have been major force in many high-tech companies and industry . So without OPT extension there will be less and less innovation. Also those talented STEM F1 students will bring much profit for the American employers which urgently need STEM international students to work for them. Based on above, we need to support the OPT extension policy.

I strongly support this proposal. In my opinion, this is a win-win opportunity for both USA and the STEM students with F1 visa.

I am working in clinical research department of a biotech company. In this area, depending on the characters of the product, the end-to-end lifecycle of a project (usually takes quite a few years. Thus, companies would like to have relatively stable employees.

For example, more than one of senior colleagues told me that they feel like new employees stay in the company for at least three years, because it usually takes so long to accomplish at least a stage of a project and understand how we operate. Though I am working in China, I also heard likewise comments from people working for multinational companies during symposiums and conferences. Working in clinical research area usually involves numerous of different tasks and they all interspersed with one another, just like a jigsaw puzzle. As employees of the sponsor of the study, we are responsible of designing the study, screening of principal investigator, training investigators and staff, on-site monitoring, data management, statistical analysis, scientific writing and so on. A pre-licensure projects usually include trials from phase I to III whereas post-licensure studies are phase IV trials. If one leave the job in the middle of a phase of the study, others need more time to sort out and finish the half-done tasks, which may have negative impact on the quality and/or rate of progress of the product. These products, which are medicines, vaccines, biological products, medical devices, are potentially useful to almost everyone.

Thus, longer OPT extension can encourage qualified F1 students stay longer in such projects, at least finish one phase of a project, and facilitate the development of medical products. On the other hand, the OPT extension can help F1 students get better chance to participate in at least one complete study and gain a deeper understanding of it, just like one can understand a puzzle much easier when looking at the whole picture.
