About this service

Which degrees or majors does this cover?

STEM-designated degrees broadly (engineering, computer science, math, and adjacent fields). If you're not sure yours qualifies for OPT STEM extension, that's one of the first things we check during intake.

How does OPT timing interact with the placement process?

We plan around your actual compliance windows, not a generic calendar. The goal is a placement timeline that keeps your status intact, not one that races against it.

Is this only for people who've already graduated?

Yes. This guide is for STEM graduates navigating their own OPT/extension timeline, not general pre-graduation career advice.
