The F1 CPT/OPT visa pathway offers international students in the U.S. an opportunity to gain valuable real-world experience while completing or after finishing their studies. Curricular Practical Training (CPT) allows students to work in positions directly related to their major field of study during their academic program, while Optional Practical Training (OPT) provides up to 12 months of work authorization post-graduation, with potential STEM extensions for qualifying degrees. These work experiences strengthen future career prospects, improve practical skills, and help students integrate into the U.S. workforce. Managing CPT and OPT rules requires compliance with timelines and documentation, and our experts are here to simplify the process, ensure legal adherence, and increase chances of approval.
