    Check if you are eligible to apply for an OPT extension. A new law passed in 2008 allows for F1 students on OPT to file for a 17-month extension. The students must have a STEM degree.
    ICE Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS): Contact Information

    The best approach would be to get in touch with the International Student Office at the college were you graduated from.
