I recently accepted a FT advisory consultant position with Deloitte. I graduate in May 2019. Will I be able to use my STEM extension (in Economics) with this position after the initial OPT period?

I don’t think ECON major qualifies for STEM extension, should probably check the codes on your I20 to be sure

Ah cool, good for you! It’s easier for OPT or STEM OPT because it’s your school making the decision, not USCIS. You’ll just need to highlight how your day-to-day is relevant to what you learned at school, how your company has additional trainings for you to develop, and how your also being evaluated. Should be no concern since your school will def be more friendly than USCIS.

Regardless of what your title says. The day to day work relevance is more important IMO

Thank you Analyst 1. Thats really helpful

And yes if you do qualify for extension and your school can be convinced your job is relevant to your major then of course you can use it.

Thank you Analyst 1, Economics major recently got recognized as a STEM at selected schools because of their curriculum so I’m certain its STEM. I was just not sure if consulting would qualify for extension as I had heard there is some strict criteria for the extension
