non-immigrant students on the F-1 visa have the option of pursuing a 12-month employment benefit. The student must apply with the United States Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) to request permission to work. Upon approval, the student is authorized to accept employment inside the United States that is directly related to her/his major area of study for a specified time period. This time period is referred to as Optional Practical Training (OPT). Students graduating from certain science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines designated by the Department of Homeland Security may be eligible for an additional 17-month, once-in-a-lifetime, employment benefit after completing OPT. This employment benefit is referred to as a STEM Extension. 684 F-1 alumni from 55 different nations participated in Optional Practical Training during 2010.
