OPT Information Session

January 26, 2021

Post-Completion Optional Practical Training (OPT) Information Session

Are you an F-1 visa student and interested in staying in the U.S. to work? One of the benefits of your F-1 visa is eligibility to apply for post-completion OPT (Optional Practical Training), 12 months of authorized work in your field of study (major).

Tuesday, January 26

2:30 – 3:30pm EST on Zoom

This session will provide an overview on the application process, timelines to understand, examples of past application mistakes, the unique challenges t apply for OPT during COVID-19, and time for Q & A. Early OPT application is important if you are graduating this May and planning to work during the summer. OPT applications take at minimum  90 days (but typically more) to process. Seniors (Spring or Fall 2021 graduates) planning to work in the U.S. after graduation should prioritize attending, but all F-1's are welcome!

(A morning session EST on this same date is also offered.)
