Optional Practical Training (OPT) Workshop
OPT is intended to provide hands-on practical work experience that is directly related to a student's major area of study. The training is authorized by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for a maximum of 12 months. It is available to students who have been lawfully enrolled on a full-time basis for at least one academic year (9 months). OPT is a benefit of being an F-1 student. OPT is an application process and is subject to evaluation. This workshop will help you understand the eligibility and application procedures.
