It is important to start thinking early about your options after graduation. Many F-1 visa status international students have the goal of working in the United States after earning their degrees and apply for Optional Practical Training (OPT), while others choose to continue their education through graduate school. Those who plan to leave the U.S. or decide to change their immigration status must be aware of important information and deadlines when making decisions.
