Many students are drawn to the USA with the dual hopes of living and working in the country. Pursuing education often serves as their initial gateway. Beyond academics, these students have the option to consider the H1B visa. Upon completing their F1 visa program, they're eligible to apply for Optional Practical Training (OPT) or STEM OPT extensions. For those who find themselves unsuccessful in securing an H1B visa through the lottery system, continuing their F1 status with Day 1 CPT offers a viable alternative to maintain their work-study balance in the U.S. Additionally, spouses of visa holders might explore the possibility of a status change to legally adjust their residency within the U.S.
