a*****4 发帖数: 986 | 1 question to ask for my friend whose OPT will expire this December. Thanks.
1. What happens if a student gets h1b sponsorship after the OPT expires?
Does he have to leave the country and come back before joining the new job?"
Will he be considered in Advance Degree Cap category?"
2. A student can apply for the change of visa status within 60 days
after his OPT expires. What are the visa categories under which (s) he can
apply? What is the maximum duration of stay under each visa category? |

v*******e 发帖数: 506 | 3 though OPT finished, you can still stay here for around 3 months to updated
your visa. but if your visa is not change to f2, j2, or another f1 in the
period, you have to leave. |
v*******e 发帖数: 506 | 4 change of visa status within 60 days """
I heard it is 90 days, anybody know the exact day? |
x**********g 发帖数: 74 | 5 90天是指OPT期间内不可以有超过90天的失业期
60天是OPT过期后的60天grace period,此期间仍然是F1 status,可以合法留在美国境
内,要么申STEM OPT延期,要么找学校转F1,要么申H1B转status
有说得不对的请版上各位指正 |
