8月1日是美本大学招生的一个特殊日子,这天拥有超过1000名高校会员的大学申请平台——通用申请系统(Common App)Common App)正式开放,意味着2023-2024美本申请季正式开始!
美本申请千头万绪,其中专业选择,及未来能否有更多机会合法留美工作等因素,均是广大家长和学子们需要重点考虑和衡量的。
7月12日,美国再出新政,对部分专业的OPT 再次延长时间,这个消息值得大家关注。
01OPT出台新政!
OPT(Optional Practial Training)是持F1学生签证的留学生合法留在美国工作的重要手段。
一般来说OPT有效期只有一年,如果一年一次的H-1B抽签没有中签,就必须离开美国。但STEM专业学生可申请24个月的OPT延期,也就是一共拥有长达3年的OPT!有了3次抽签机会,拿H-1B的概率大大增加。
因此,一直以来STEM专业,也广受追捧(科学(Science)、科技(Technology)、机械(Engineering)和数学(Mathematics)
而就在最近。美国再次发布最新的专业学科,将12个月的OPT 延长至36个月。
