Trump administration proposes new OPT fees for international students
Schools would pay $70,000 for an initial OPT recommendation and $30,000 for a later one under the DHS proposal.
TLDR
DHS has proposed charging universities $70,000 before recommending an international student for Optional Practical Training, plus $30,000 for a later recommendation, such as a STEM extension. The fees could total $100,000 for eligible graduates using up to three years of post-study work authorization. The rule is not yet final; if adopted, it would take effect 60 days after publication and apply prospectively.
