Anti-Immigrant Groups file suit to Block Extension of OPT

A coalition of anti-immigrant groups filed suit to block the implementation of a recent Bush administration regulation that extends the period of OPT, occupational practical training, from 12 months to 29 months, for certain college graduates in computers, math and engineering. They are contending that the administration lacked the power to implement this regulation, and that this is really just an "end-run" around the 65,000 H-1B visa cap, which has been exhausted.
