The Practice and Work of American Students

Congratulations on your successful entry into an American university with a student visa of F/ 1, and completing the magnificent journey of your degree. However, if you want to live and work in America, you need to take a special road. This article will introduce you to the internship and work of American students to help you plan your future better.

The road to practice

For you with an F- 1 visa, full-time work is beyond your power. But don't worry, the internship road is at your feet! Find an internship that matches your major, apply for OPT and get EAD, and you will take an important step in full-time work.

Choice of internship period

During the internship, you have two choices: CPT and OPT. CPT is not only a job, but also the accumulation of credits, and sometimes you can get paid! OPT is a paid internship one year after graduation. If you are a STEM major, you have a better chance to postpone it. But please note that CPT is full-time for one year or more, and the door of OPT may be closed to you.

Choose an opportunity

Every student, every degree level, has only one chance. After reading a master's degree and applying for OPT, reading another master's degree will no longer enjoy this opportunity. However, after studying for a PhD, you are still eligible to apply for OPT again.

H- 1B work visa

H- 1B work visa is the key for you to stay in the United States. This is a short-term non-immigrant work visa for foreign professionals employed by American companies. Whether undergraduate, graduate or doctoral students, they need to draw lots to decide. Although the winning rate is low, those with master's degree or above enjoy 20 thousand exemption places.

Come on!

Are you ready? Take this internship and work road and cheer for your American dream!
