Ok - how difficult was it to get on the Optional Practical Training? She'll be interning at a major company in the valley this summer(assuming the export control process doesn't pose an issue), and will most likely be doing so next summer as well. Basically, finding work shouldn't be an issue for her after graduation.
- pucallpa 13y agoOPT is time of work that she gets for her studies, Some people wait until they are done with their studies to use that time. If you use it during your studies (in an internship) you'll run out of time by the end, there is new legislation that will let her get an h1b easier coming from an F1.
- milemi 13y agoIt was a long time ago, but I remember it being totally routine, no queues and no uncertainty. She should go to her school's immigration office, I'm sure they'll be able to walk her through the application and explain any other options while they're at it.
- tricolon 13y agoOne of my summer internships was delayed for two months because USCIS thought my photo was overexposed (it wasn't)... so I definitely wouldn't say "no uncertainty" but all the paperwork was possible to complete without representation.
