Hello HSB
My school told me that I’m not elgible for OPT as I’m on F-1 for only one semester(this spring 2012). But they need me to be on F-1 status for 1 year. is this true?I was maintaining full-time status throughout my program and did a COS to F-1 and got it approved last month(dec 2011)
So what are my options? I remember reading somewhere that we don’t need to be in F-1 status throughout(we can be in any legal status) for applying for OPT.
Please reply. Thank you
Could you pls suggest me some 1 yr short term courses related to computers so that I can change m status from H4 to F1 and get OPT. And also the name of those institutions which offer this course
Hello,
I was wondering if we can change our status to F-1 anytime during the program and still avail OPT and on-campus jobs?
Thats something university must decide and allow. I’m not sure if you do 2 semesters in H4, change to F1 (which can be done) and get OPT right away. Talk to the university where you plan to apply.
Thank you!
so this means that I can change to F-1 anytime but OPT rules are governed by the school?
OPt/F1 rules are set, but its interpretation varies between schools.
ok, got it.thank you. I will talk to my school
