Unpaid Internships on F-1 OPT Considered “Unemployment”


In a recent and concerning adjudication trend, the Nebraska Service Center (NSC) of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has begun denying F-1 optional practical training (OPT) STEM extension applications filed by students who engaged in employment as unpaid interns during the initial 12 months of OPT. This interpretation is contrary to the policy guidance issued by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP). Attempts are being made to have the NSC reverse course on this policy change, but it is unclear at the time of this writing whether these efforts will be successful. In the meantime, this sudden policy change has left many F-1 students with serious immigration troubles.
