国土安全部已向白宫正式提出建议，要求在疫情期间进一步限制合法移民。

其中一项建议是暂停国际学生的OPT，而很多企业界和大学界人士都对此项建议都持反对态度。对此，一亩三分地地主Warald之前撰文《美国总统可能暂停H1B和F1/OPT申请，这里有一切细节和深度分析》详细介绍过，参考：https://www.1point3acres.com/bbs/thread-634928-1-1.html 一亩三分地里也有同学贴了学校国际学生办公室的回复：https://www.1point3acres.com/bbs/thread-635620-1-1.html

Among the recommendations expected to be considered is the suspension of a program for foreign students to stay in the U.S. to get one or two years of occupational training between secondary education and full-time employment, a move many in the business and university communities are fighting.  source

新冠疫情追踪

我去.....国土安全部也开始提建议了...看来真有点危险了

从报道的内容来看，这事儿两边还在掐，而且文中也提到了 the influence of the business community, often communicated by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, could sink plans to suspend OPT. 希望科技界和学术界能给力一些。
