As per the USCIS guidelines , 
http://www.ice.gov/doclib/sevis/pdf/opt_policy_... 

Highlight Sections from the article : http://screencast.com/t/r56SZk3HUiP 

It says we can work for multiple employers and also says at least 20 hours minimum however 
the article doesn't tell maximum hours limit. 

It has a statement which says "for pre-completion OPT, can not exceed the allowed per week
cumulative hours. " and considering OPT STEM Extn is post-completion OPT category and this statement doesn't apply. 


Can any one please tell what is allowed per week cumulative hours limit ?

Not 100% sure but I think u can work more than 20 hrs meaning 30, 40, 50, 60 for post completion OPT.
