据移民消息报道，对于STEM学科OPT可延期至29个月的规定，法官裁决该项法规未得到合适的制定，故不再有效，或遭取消（STEM Vacate）。此项裁定将于2016年2月12日生效。

根据分析，凡在OPT期间用EAD卡工作的F1学生将无法在12个月后工作，除非已获得了工作签证或通过其它途径。

尽管美国国土安全部（DHS）可以也有可能会重新制定该法规，并通过合适的制定流程，但不能确保在2016年2月12日前有任何延期的法规出台。

目前官方消息尚未公布证实消息，但请各位密切关注！

以下是原文：

STEM OPT Extention deemed invalid – International students on f1 to affected

Immigration voice just reported :

Judge rules that the Regulation for extending the STEM OPT to 29 months (from 12 months) was done inappropriately and is thus invalid.

This ruling will become effective on February 12, 2016.

According to our analysis, someone working on F1-OPT-EAD will not be able to work after the 12th month period unless they get a work permit via other means.

Even though DHS can & probably will reintroduce this rule and go through the proper regulatory (lengthy) process, it should not be taken for granted that there will be any rule in place by February 12, 2016 authorizing any extension.
