Hi! Guys,

For STEM people, have you guys got a chance to read this part of new F-1 STEM OPT Extension regulations. Looks like, you guys can't work on client location through staffing or consulting firms. That's why one of the thread was asking CA Consulting firms are now looking for genuine resume.

"The employer that signs the training plan must be the same entity that employs the student and provides the practical training. This means that STEM OPT extensions will not be available for certain types of working arrangements, including multiple employer arrangements, sole proprietorships, employment through staffing agencies, and employment through consulting firms that provide labor for hire. In order to comply with the new requirements, staffing agencies and consulting firms will need to have a person on site at the end customer site monitoring the work of the student and provide the training" (Clark Hill PLC, 2016).

And one more note -
"DHS may conduct a site visit to any employer to ensure that the employer possesses and maintains the ability and resources to provide structures and guided work-based learning experiences consistent with I-983. DHS will provide 48 hours' notice of any site visit unless the visit is triggered by a complaint or evidence of non-compliance" (Clark Hill PLC, 2016).

So, STEM people don't excited with 24 months additional OPT opportunity.
