Choosing a year after studying in the United States is helpful for returning to China to apply for a job?

Let's talk about the concept of OPT first.

OPT visa is used after graduation, which is a transitional visa after studying in the United States. Students with bachelor degree or above who graduated from American colleges and universities can find work practice units in related fields, keep their F 1 status during the internship period, and apply for H- 1B visa during the internship period, that is, they can apply for immigration by changing their student status into work status.

Previously, the duration of OPT visa was 12 months, which means that if you want to apply for immigration, you need to get an H- 1B visa within 12 months. At present, if you study science, technology, engineering or mathematics, it can be extended to 29 months, but other majors are generally 65,438+02 months, and after the OPT visa ends.

So to put it bluntly, the OPT visa is mainly to help you find an internship and a job in the United States. It is a transition from a study visa F 1 to an H- 1B visa. If you plan to go back to China to apply for a job immediately after graduation, it will have little impact.

If you have been internship in OPT for one year in the United States, this kind of energy will naturally help you find a job after returning to China. It depends on the direction of job hunting and internship.
