USCIS denied my STEM OPT because it said my degree “isn’t STEM.” Is that final?
No items found.

Not necessarily. If your program’s CIP code is on the DHS list, a denial based on the degree’s title may rest on a legal error. Those denials can be challenged — commonly through a Form I-290B Motion to Reopen or Reconsider — but strict deadlines apply, so consult an immigration attorney right away.
