Dear International Students,

I am writing to inform you that the STEM OPT Maintenance fee, charged at the time of application for the STEM OPT 24 month extension, has increased from $150 to $175.  The increase in the fee is to help cover the additional reporting and compliance responsibilities of the OIE caused by recent regulatory changes.

Regards,

Jay Horn
