This
past week, a Federal District Court decided Washington Alliance of
Technology Workers v. DHS. The lawsuit sought to prevent foreign
students from having an opportunity to gain practical experience in the
U.S. following their full-time course of study. The Court invalidated a
2008 U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) rule which permits an
F-1 student to receive up to a seventeen (17) month extension of their
Optional Practical Training (OPT) on top of the twelve (12) months
previously authorized (for a maximum of twenty-nine months), if their
field of study is in a designated as a Science, Technology, Engineering
or Math (STEM) field and the employer is registered in the E-Verify
Program.
