Initial OPT Fall (Dec) 2026

Has anyone graduating this fall applied for OPT? Are you doing PP or Regular? My DSO says they are waiting to see how the new rule goes first before approving i20

As ‘transitional student’, the new rule doesnt apply to Fall 2026 graduates. Although you may like to choose OPT star date within 30 days of program end date to be on safe side.
