OMSCS能用来申请OPT Extension吗？

如图，在另一个帖子里我看到：

“并不是只有学位项目才有opt，一些短期的certificate项目也提供一年的opt。
可以这样操作：用完一年的opt之后，再用online CS MS申请两年的STEM OPT extension”


（https://www.1point3acres.com/bbs/thread-297593-1-1.html）

我后来查了一下，貌似这样确实行得通：

To qualify for the 24-month STEM OPT extension, you must:

• Be in F-1 status
• Be currently working in a period of post-completion OPT
• Have a bachelor’s degree or higher degree in an eligible STEM field
  

You may be eligible use a prior STEM degree earned in the U.S. for this requirement; to use a prior STEM degree, you must:
Have received your most recent degree (which does not need to be STEM-related) from a currently accredited Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP)-certified school in the U.S.
Have received your prior, qualifying STEM degree in the U.S. within 10 years of applying for the STEM OPT extension.
The qualifying STEM degree must be on the Department of Homeland Security’s STEM Designated Degree Program List at the time you submit your STEM OPT extension application (rather than at the time you received the degree).

请问是否有人这样做过 证明确实行得通呢？


补充内容 (2019-6-20 10:42):
很多人混淆了OPT和OPT extension，所以补充说明一下：OPT和OPT extension是分开申请的。截图中说的意思是：如果你读的是文科专业或certificate program，那么本来只有一年OPT，但可以用OMSCS申请OPT extension。

opt期间不允许读书的，用omscs申extension有点像是自首

卧槽....可惜已经把opt用了

目前还不确定OMSCS能不能申请OPT Extension，但是确定的是——OMSCS可以申请H1B。

坐等实操结论祝🉐

omscs申请opt extension还听说过实操结论。只是omscs申请h1b已经被很多人践行了。

卧槽....可惜已经把opt用了

omscs也有opt???

没有F1,有opt?

那个帖子是说OPT Extension，不是OPT。

按照我的理解是不行的

请看
https://www.uscis.gov/working-un ... employment/stem-opt

需要I20

“
To apply for an extension, you must properly file:

    Form I-765 with
        The correct application fee,
        Your employer’s name as listed in E-Verify, and
        Your employer’s E-Verify Company Identification Number or valid E-Verify Client Company Identification Number
    Form I-20, Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status, endorsed by your DSO within the last 60 days; and
    A copy of your STEM degree.

If you file your STEM OPT extension application on time and your OPT period expires while your extension application is pending, we will automatically extend your employment authorization for 180 days. This automatic 180-day extension ceases once USCIS adjudicates your STEM OPT extension application. ”

同意这个说法

所以主要看学校？学校让你过你就行，不然就不行呗

mark一下，希望这操作可以
