  • OPT收费新提案:首次7万美元,后续3万美元

    2026年10月9日 F-1留学生 / OPT / STEM OPT 法规动态重要提醒:美国移民与海关执法局(ICE)于2026年10月8日发布的是《拟议规则》(Notice of Proposed Rulemaking),并非已经生效的收费规定。现阶段不能将拟议金额视为OPT申请的现行收费。一、提案的核心内容根据《联邦公报》公布的提案,国土安全部拟对由SEVP认证学校推荐参加OPT的F-1学生征收以下费用:OPT类别 拟议费用首次OPT推荐(毕业前或毕业后) 70,000美元后续OPT推荐(包括STEM OPT延期) 30,000美元提案明确要求由SEVP认证学校支付费用,学校必须在DSO将OPT推荐录入SEVIS系统之前完成缴费。费用并非因学生更换雇主而触发,而是与学校作出OPT推荐有关。二、哪些学生可能受到影响?首次OPT可以是毕业前OPT(Pre-completion OPT),也可以是毕业后OPT(Post-completion OPT)。如果学生已经参加首次OPT,之后再申请另一阶段OPT或符合条件的STEM OPT延期,按照提案可能产生3万美元的后续费用。例如:学生先参加毕业前OPT,之后申请毕业后OPT,学校可能分别承担7万美元首次费用和3万美元后续费用。提案还征求公众意见,是否在学生升读更高学位后重新适用7万美元的首次费用;这并非目前确定的最终规则。三、对申请程序的潜在影响根据拟议规定,DSO在推荐OPT之前需确认学校已缴费,并向学生提供包含推荐及缴费信息的新I-20。未按要求缴费可能导致USCIS无法批准相关OPT工作许可。对于尚未获得工作许可的情形,提案设有由学校申请退款的机制,但退款需逐案审查。四、何时可能实施?提案建议:如未来公布最终规则,规则于最终规则公布60天后生效;7万美元费用将适用于生效日当天或之后作出的首次OPT推荐。该提案强调原则上向未来适用。截至本简讯日期,尚无已确定的最终规则生效日。五、留学生、学校与雇主现在应如何准备?留学生应按现行规定准备OPT及STEM OPT申请,核对DSO推荐、I-20和I-765递交期限;学校应评估提案可能带来的财务和合规负担;雇主应关注毕业生就业安排和工作许可时间表。不要仅凭提案认定现有OPT已被取消或已产生上述收费。六、公众意见与官方来源普通公众意见截止日:2026年11月9日。可通过 regulations.gov 搜索案号 ICEB–2026–0100 提交。提案另设信息收集相关意见截止日2026年12月7日。资料:Federal Register, Vol. 91, No. 194 (Oct. 8, 2026), “Optional Practical Training Fees,” [...]

  • H-1B政策再收紧:10万美元费用与裁员雇主审查成为重点

    美国移民律师协会(AILA)于2026年9月23日发布最新执业警示(Practice Alert),介绍白宫于2026年9月18日发布的总统公告(Presidential Proclamation)及行政命令(Executive Order)。两项总统行动均针对H-1B项目,未来可能进一步加强对H-1B雇主、申请案件以及签证申请的审查。 一、H-1B“10万美元费用”政策再次被延长,但法律效力仍存在争议 2026年9月18日发布的总统公告延长了2025年的相关政策,即针对人在美国境外、申请H-1B专业职业身份(H-1B Specialty Occupation)的外国工作者,继续要求缴纳100,000美元费用。 但是,该费用目前仍面临重大法律争议。 在 State of California v. Mullin 一案中,联邦地区法院已经裁定该H-1B 10万美元费用违法。随后,美国第一巡回上诉法院(First Circuit)拒绝了联邦政府要求暂停地区法院裁定效力的申请(Motion to Stay)。 因此,目前该10万美元费用在实际操作中究竟如何执行,仍存在不确定性。 AILA同时指出,部分律师反映,一些未缴纳10万美元费用而提交的H-1B申请目前仍未得到审理(lack of adjudication)。因此,在法院诉讼与政府实际执行之间,目前仍存在明显的不确定状态。 二、新行政命令要求多个联邦部门联合加强H-1B审查 新的行政命令名称为: “Enhancing Program Integrity and Interagency Coordination in the Administration [...]
