OPT employees can take on a wide range of roles depending on their field of study. For instance, if a student has a degree in computer science, they might work as a software developer, data analyst, or systems engineer. OPT allows international students to work in the U.S. for up to 12 months (with a possible extension for STEM fields) in positions directly related to their major, which helps them gain practical experience in their area of study.
When an employee on OPT wants to transition to a full-time work visa, such as the H-1B visa, their employer must sponsor them. The H-1B visa allows companies to hire foreign workers for specialized roles in fields like engineering, technology, and medicine. The employee must apply for the H-1B visa during the annual application window (usually in April), and if selected, they can begin working full-time once the visa is approved. During the transition period, employees are allowed to continue working under OPT until their H-1B status begins, as long as they maintain valid authorization
The H-1B is a non-immigrant visa that allows U.S. employers to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations, usually requiring at least a bachelor’s degree in a specific field.
The H-1B cap-subject petition must be filed in March during the lottery registration period. If selected, the full petition is submitted from April 1st onwards.
