Spring 2012 Graduates
Are you graduating or completing your program in Spring 2012? If you want to pursue Optional Practical Training (OPT), you may apply anytime between now and June 14, 2012 but before making an OPT appointment, you must view the F-1 Employment Online Workshop on the ISSS website or attend an in-person OPT workshop (see calendar for details). Be advised that travel outside the U.S. after April 28, 2012 will make you ineligible to return in F-1 status and apply for OPT; if it is necessary for you to travel during this time, you must submit your OPT application before leaving.
Summer 2012 Graduates will be eligible to apply for OPT starting on May 14, 2012. |
