DHS proposes $70,000 fee for international student OPT program

Optional Practical Training international students visa fees Department of Homeland Security STEM workforce

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has proposed a new rule that would impose significant fees on educational institutions for international students participating in the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program. Under the proposal, schools would be required to pay $70,000 for each student’s initial OPT application and $30,000 for each subsequent renewal or extension.

DHS stated the measure is intended to combat fraud and abuse within the visa system, describing the OPT program as a “pipeline for cheap foreign labor” that should not undermine American workers. The agency noted that the fees would help ensure the program's integrity and encourage stricter oversight by schools when recommending students for work authorization.

International education advocates, including NAFSA CEO Fanta Aw, have warned that the high costs could severely impact American innovation and economic growth by deterring international talent. Critics also noted that while schools are responsible for the payment, the costs would likely be passed down to students or employers. The proposal is currently open for a 60-day public comment period and may face legal challenges from higher education and business organizations.
