If you are in F-1 status, completing your program at the end of the fall semester (Congratulations!), and are interested in pursuing employment in the U.S., it's time to learn about the OPT (Optional Practical Training) application process.

OPT is employment authorization granted by USCIS to work in your field of study after graduation for up to 12 months. The earliest you can apply is 90 days in advance of your December 23rd program end date.

If you missed this semesters' OPT webinars, do not fret. Watch the recording here:
