F-1 and OPT rules are shifting, and one missed deadline can change everything.

If you’re an international student or recent graduate in the US, the next few months matter. Proposed changes to how long you can stay, new guidance on internships, and a possible OPT fee could all affect your plans, whether you’re on F-1, doing CPT, on OPT or STEM OPT, or preparing for an H-1B transition.

That’s why we’re hosting a live session to help you get clear on what’s changing and what to do about it.

We’ll cover 4 critical topics:

1. Duration of Status: what the proposed rule could mean for your stay
2. CPT Guidance: what to know before taking on internships and co-ops
3. Proposed OPT Fee: what’s being discussed and who could be affected
4. OPT and Cap-Gap Deadlines: key timelines and the common mistakes to avoid

📅 October 15
⏰ 10 AM PT
📍 Live on Zoom
