OPT Case Still Not Decided after 10 Years
By John Miano on May 29, 2018
Today marks a milestone in my legal career. Ten years ago today I filed my first case in federal court.
In 2008, DHS promulgated a regulation designed to circumvent the quotas on H-1B visas by allowing aliens to work on student visas for up to 35 months after graduation on the Optional Practical Training (OPT) Program.
Ten years ago, we asked the courts whether DHS has the authority to allow non-students to work on student visas and the larger question of whether DHS has the authority to allow aliens to work through regulation.
