On March 11, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security published a new rule reauthorizing Optional Practical Training (OPT) for F-1 non-immigrant students with qualifying degrees in science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) from accredited U.S. colleges or universities.

• Find out what qualifying employment is, and what the new employer obligations entail
