Why USA?
The United States, a land of dreams and opportunities, provides high-quality educational options to students from all over the world. The United States has monopolized the attention of almost all study-abroad aspirants.
Work Authorisation for students
To acquire work experience, you must first apply for temporary employment authorization, known as either Optional Practical Training (OPT) or Curricular Practical Training (CPT). According to the Department of Homeland Security, both OPT and CPT allow you to be employed during and after your course of study. The major difference is that CPT must be completed before graduation, whereas OPT can be completed either before or after graduation — meaning you can use your OPT to work in the country for a short period after you leave school.
The duration of OPT depends on your degree program. If you have a STEM degree, your OPT can last for up to three years. For other degrees, it typically lasts for just one year. You must acquire a temporary work visa if you wish to stay in the country once your OPT has ended.
Two important caveats to consider:
- If you use any of your OPT while you’re in school, it will be deducted from the time you have remaining to work in the U.S. after you graduate. For example, if you use three months of your yearlong OPT in a paid summer internship before your senior year of college, you will only have nine months of OPT left when you graduate.
- You can apply for both CPT and OPT. However, if you work for 12 months, full-time, on CPTwhile you’re in school, you won’t be eligible to apply for OPT at all. If you work part-time on CPT (even for more than 12 months), it won’t impact your eligibility to apply for OPT.
