The new ruling has extended the period during which an F-1 student may apply for post-completion OPT. The student may now file the OPT application up to 90 days before the completion of studies/ program end date and up to 60 days after. However, the student must file the OPT application within 30 days of the date the international student advisor enters the OPT recommendation into SEVIS and generates the OPT I-20 for the student.
