After College on an F-1 provides general immigration information based on your answers. It is NOT legal advice, and using it creates no attorney-client relationship. Immigration rules, fees, forms, and processing times change — always verify with your Designated School Official (DSO) and a licensed immigration attorney before acting.
Nothing in this plan guarantees H-1B lottery selection, petition approval, or any processing timeline. The H-1B cap is a lottery with materially uncertain odds, and outcomes depend on facts and rules outside anyone's control.
Numeric rules referenced here — the 60-day grace period, 12-month OPT, 24-month STEM OPT extension, and the 90-day (OPT) / 150-day (STEM OPT) unemployment limits — are stated as of recent rules. Verify current figures at USCIS and Study in the States before relying on them.
Programs marketed as 'day-1 CPT' carry a real risk to your immigration status. Treat them with extreme caution and get advice from your DSO and a licensed immigration attorney before enrolling.
