January 26, 2016
On January 23, 2016, the presiding judge of the US District Court for the District of Columbia, in the case of Washington Alliance of Technology Workers v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security, granted the DHS’s motion to extend its deadline for publishing the STEM OPT Extension Final Rule until May 8, 2016, noting that in light of the “unexpected and unprecedented” 50,500 public comments received in response to DHS’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on October 19, 2015, “extraordinary circumstances” existed that warranted modifying the court’s previous order pursuant to Rule 60(b)(6).
