Yes, it's called "OPT", but is only for students on f-1 visas to get practical training in their areas of study. While it is temporary work authorization, it is not a work visa. There's a pretty huge difference in that h1bs offer a path to naturalization, whereas f-1 opt does not.
- readitmeow 10y agoThanks for the clarification. They did mention OPT and OPT extensions while they waited for the lottery, but I couldn't remember the name.
