Proposed $100,000 OPT Fee Alarms Foreign Students and Employers
Original: WR Immigration Proposed $100,000 OPT Fee: What Students & Employers Need to Know
A proposal would impose a $100,000 fee on Optional Practical Training, the program that lets international students in the United States work after graduation. Immigration commentators are outlining what the charge would mean for students planning careers in the US and for employers who hire foreign graduates, warning it could deter enrollment and shrink the skilled talent pipeline.
Why now: The steep proposed fee would dramatically change the economics of studying and working in the US for international students, prompting concern among students, universities and employers.
