Free tool for OPT / STEM OPT

Your STEM OPT timeline

Enter your OPT start date and see every date that matters: when you can file the STEM extension, when OPT ends, your STEM end date, and your unemployment limits.

OPT start date (EAD card start date) Is your degree STEM-eligible (24-month extension)?

Estimates for planning only, based on standard USCIS/SEVP rules (12-month OPT; 24-month STEM extension; file the STEM application up to 90 days before OPT ends and before it expires; 90 unemployment days on OPT, 150 total with STEM). Your I-20, EAD card, and DSO are authoritative. Not legal advice.

Turn this into interviews, not just dates on a page.

FlexApply hand-applies to verified H-1B sponsors for you: a resume tuned per role, real cover letters, and internal referrals where we have a contact. You only pay $49 to start.
