Senator Charles Grassley called for a ban on OPT (Optional Practical Training). OPT provides work permit for students up to 27 months after completion of Masters, Phd or Under graduation in USA. Grassley’s call for ban on OPT shocked 1 Million community of International students in USA.

Why to Ban OPT (Optional Practical Training) work permit?

Grassley criticized OPT program for the following reasons
 

  • US Federal Govt doesn't know where these thousands of foreign students are located, who they are working for and what exactly they are doing. Govt is not maintaining a proper database of these students. OPT program authorizing around 560,000 international students every year to work in USA after completion of their academic program at US University.
  • Recent Terror attacks were done by immigrants who entered into US as foreign students.
  • Student are using OPT for Unauthorized employment like working in a different field which is not related to their US Education.
  • Homeland Security is enabling students to work on OPT without any specific visa or background check. Masters student over here will use old F1 Visa to work on OPT. There is no special temporary work permit visa category for OPT students.
  • OPT allows unlimited number of foreign students to work in USA which poses threat to opportunities of US Citizens.
  • There is no payroll tax for Employer or Student for the entire 29 month period which is saving for employer/student up to 10000$ for a hire. It means $10000 is taken away by each OPT job from US Govt. US Employers are considering OPT students over US Citizens for saving tax money.
