跟进：留学生OPT拟收费7万美元 公众意见征询11月9日截止
美国国土安全部拟对留学生毕业实习（OPT）收取新费用的提案，公众意见征询将于11月9日（周一）截止。该提案由移民与海关执法局（ICE）提出（档案号ICEB-2026-0100）：学校须先为每名F-1留学生缴纳7万美元，校方指定官员才能为其首次OPT出具推荐；此后每次OPT推荐、包括STEM延期，另收3万美元。提案今年10月公布时即在高校与留学生群体中引发广泛讨论。
提案10月8日刊登于《联邦公报》（91 FR 64566），目前尚未生效、无须缴纳任何新费用。按国土安全部自己的估算，若最终实施，2,478所认证学校每年缴纳的费用总额约在84亿至165亿美元之间。据联邦公报档案页面的统计，截至11月2日，该档案已收到约4,844条公众意见；针对提案信息收集部分的意见可延至12月7日提交。
同一星期内，国土安全部另有两项移民提案也将截止征询：一项拟取消被裁的H-1B等工作签证持有人60天宽限期，一项拟取消移民局在延期审批中沿用先前批准结果的做法。三个档案截至11月2日合计收到约3.24万条意见。
意见可通过联邦规章门户regulations.gov提交，须注明档案号ICEB-2026-0100，截止时间为11月9日美东时间晚11时59分。提交的意见将对外公开，提交时不要附上SEVIS号等不愿公开的个人信息。提案是否实施、费用是否调整，要等国土安全部审阅意见并发布最终规则后才见分晓。

Follow-up: Public Comment on Proposed $70,000 OPT Fee for International Students Closes Nov. 9
Public comment closes Monday, November 9, on the Department of Homeland Security's proposal to charge new fees for international students' Optional Practical Training (OPT). Under the proposal from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Docket No. ICEB-2026-0100, a school would have to pay $70,000 for each F-1 student before its designated school official could recommend that student for an initial period of OPT, and $30,000 for each subsequent OPT recommendation, including STEM extensions. The proposal drew wide attention on campuses when it was published in October.
The proposal appeared in the Federal Register on October 8 (91 FR 64566). It is not in effect, and no new fee is payable today. By the department's own estimate, if finalized, the fees paid by 2,478 certified schools would total roughly $8.4 billion to $16.5 billion a year. According to the docket figures on the Federal Register's document records, about 4,844 comments had been filed on the docket as of November 2; comments on the proposal's information-collection provisions run on a separate track until December 7.
Two other DHS immigration proposals close for comment in the same week: one would end the 60-day grace period for laid-off H-1B and other work-visa holders, and another would end U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' practice of deferring to its own prior approvals in extension cases. The three dockets had drawn about 32,400 comments combined as of November 2.
Comments can be filed through the federal eRulemaking portal at regulations.gov, identified by Docket No. ICEB-2026-0100, by 11:59 p.m. Eastern on November 9. Comments become public, so filers should not include a SEVIS number or other information they do not want published. Whether the fee takes effect, and at what level, will be decided only after the department reviews the comments and issues a final rule.
