Facing a layoff during your OPT or STEM OPT can be daunting. Here’s what you need to know! 🌍👇

Navigating OPT and STEM OPT after being laid off can be a overwhelming experience for many international students. This video breaks down crucial aspects you need to consider to maintain your status.

*Understanding the Core Issue:*
When you're laid off while on OPT, it raises urgent questions regarding your employment and status. The clock ticking on your unemployment days is a key point of concern.

*Key Considerations:*
1. *Unemployment Clock:* Your unemployment days incorporate both your original OPT and STEM OPT timelines. It's essential to understand your EAD's validity and how it impacts your unemployment status.

2. *Days Calculation:* You're allowed 90 days of unemployment during your OPT with an extra 60 days for STEM OPT. Proper tracking of these days is vital. Knowing how many days you've already used can help you strategize your next steps effectively.

3. *New Employment & I-983 Forms:* Finding a new employer before your current OPT expires is crucial. Updating the I-983 training plan is not just a formality; it's a requirement for maintaining your OPT approval.

*Additional Information:*
Consider joining an on-campus CPT program to maintain student status during your job search.
