Un per\u00edodo OPT es la cantidad de tiempo designada que los estudiantes internacionales tienen permiso legal para trabajar en los Estados Unidos para obtener experiencia pr\u00e1ctica en sus campos de estudio.<\/p>\n<p>De los casi un mill\u00f3n de estudiantes internacionales que actualmente estudian en los Estados Unidos, m\u00e1s del 40% est\u00e1n cursando una educaci\u00f3n universitaria en un campo de STEM. Esto significa que m\u00e1s de 400,000 estudiantes ser\u00e1n elegibles para trabajar en los Estados Unidos durante 24 meses adicionales despu\u00e9s de graduarse. Esto es siete meses m\u00e1s que el per\u00edodo OPT de STEM anterior.<\/p>\n<p>Esta es una noticia significativa para muchos estudiantes internacionales. Estos dos a\u00f1os les dar\u00e1n m\u00e1s oportunidad de refinanciar pr\u00e9stamos privados para estudiantes (permitiendo una tasa de inter\u00e9s de pr\u00e9stamo m\u00e1s baja), continuar construyendo un puntaje de cr\u00e9dito, realmente pagar los pr\u00e9stamos estudiantiles y, por supuesto, obtener una invaluable experiencia profesional que ser\u00e1 \u00fatil a lo largo de sus carreras.<\/p>\n<p>El CEO y cofundador de MPOWER, Manu Smadja, estaba especialmente emocionado por este desarrollo. Como ex estudiante internacional de posgrado en STEM con una maestr\u00eda en ingenier\u00eda, comprende cu\u00e1n vitales son las nuevas reglas de OPT: utiliz\u00f3 su propio per\u00edodo de OPT para demostrar sus habilidades a su empleador y r\u00e1pidamente fue patrocinado para una visa a largo plazo. \u201cEsta es una gran noticia para todos los estudiantes internacionales actuales y futuros en los Estados Unidos\u201d, dijo. \u201cLos Estados Unidos necesitan desesperadamente talento en STEM para impulsar la revoluci\u00f3n tecnol\u00f3gica que est\u00e1 experimentando&#8230; y la extensi\u00f3n de OPT es un paso en la direcci\u00f3n correcta\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Aqu\u00ed est\u00e1n los conceptos b\u00e1sicos de la extensi\u00f3n de OPT simplificados en un gr\u00e1fico. Los estudiantes deben consultar con sus universidades para ver c\u00f3mo registrarse para esta oportunidad que define la carrera.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; margin-bottom: 30px;\"
