We need to oppose it.

I am putting a comment opposing the rule. This OPT STEM extension is not needed and even if there is a need more protections are needed. I think those who are opposing need to put comments opposing it. Though I aware that OPT people will suffer if STEM extension is not done but that is not the only criteria

No progress yet, USCIS asked the court to give more time to review the comments and they were granted an extension till May 10th 2016. So they need to review the comments and make a decision by May 10th 2016
