OPT start date，急，加米

我正在申请。我自己考虑后决定是30天。要考虑新规马上生效的影响。而且差的这30天，对你一年后延期申请时的影响并不大。但是万一新规通过定义30天grace period，你将直接无法工作出境走人。所以必

我也是这么想的。

我上周新规公示之前刚交的opt，start date定的毕业之后32天，而且已经寄到了immigration office
现在也慌的一比

新规也还是60天呀，不是30 ，而且即使是30 ，逾期之后也是使用的 失业期呀，失业期90天，不会叛你非法吧？

楼主你好，我也是一样的处境，我记得新规网页上写的有的地方说是可以60天得，你要不去新规网看下这段文字： To provide adequate notice to aliens previously admitted for D/S regarding the date when their admission period ends pursuant to the proposed transition, DHS proposes that an alien's period of admission would expire on the program end date on the alien's Form I-20 or DS-2019 that is valid on the final rule's effective date, not to exceed a period of 4 years from the final rule's effective date, plus an additional period of 60 days for F nonimmigrants and 30 days for J nonimmigrants.  J是30， F是60

Grace period就是opt最迟开始生效时间吗?

可以参考一下这一段，如果新规生效的时候OPT申请还在pending，那么grace period也应该还是60天。

Regarding pending applications for employment authorization during the transition period, aliens in F status who are subject to the transition and who are seeking post-completion OPT and STEM-OPT employment authorization would be authorized to remain in the United States while the application is pending with USCIS if: (1) They are in the United States on the effective date of the final rule with admission for D/S; (2) they properly filed an application for employment authorization; and (3) their application is pending on the final rule's effective date. Unless otherwise advised by USCIS, they would not have to file for an EOS or re-file an application for employment authorization. See proposed 8 CFR 214.1(m)(2). If the application for employment authorization is approved, the F-1 will be authorized to remain in the United States in F status until the expiration date of the employment authorization document, plus 60 days as provided in their previous admission. If the employment application is denied, the F-1 would continue to be authorized to remain in the United States until the program end date listed on their Form I-20, plus 60 days as provided in their previous admission, as long as he or she continues to pursue a full course of study and otherwise meets the requirements for F-1 status.

按照新规上这一段，现在人在美国的F和J应该是不受新规影响的，既不需要EOS，grace period也还是60天。

DHS proposes to generally allow all F and J nonimmigrants present in the United States on [the Final Rule's effective date], who are validly maintaining that status and who were admitted for D/S, to remain in the United States in F or J status, without filing an EOS request, up to the program end date reflected on their Form I-20 or DS-2019 that is valid on the Final Rule's effective date, not to exceed 4 years from the effective date of the Final Rule, plus an additional 60 days for F nonimmigrants and 30 days for J nonimmigrants. An alien who departs the United States and seeks admission after the Final Rule's effective date becomes subject to the fixed date framework imposed by this rule. See proposed 8 CFR 214.1(m)(1).
