OPT Purge! The Path to Staying in the U.S. Changes
Recently, a piece of news has been circulating widely among international students in the United States. On May 12, local time, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) held a press conference to publicly call out issues such as fraudulent employment, shell companies, and employer affiliation within the OPT program. Acting ICE Director Todd M. Lyons stated that law enforcement agencies have identified over 10,000 foreign students associated with highly suspicious OPT employers, and this is only a portion of what has been investigated so far. This sends a very clear signal: the U.S. government is intensifying its scrutiny of international student status, the authenticity of OPT employment, and employer compliance.
