OPT stands for Optional Practical Training

OPT is a training program for international students studying in the USA on an F1 visa basis.

OPT is offered by the US government under the administrative guidance of USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services), which provides F1 students (International students) with the opportunity to gain on-the-job experience by applying for a job that is directly related to their field of expertise. Basically, it is for a period of 12 months, which can be extended to an additional 24 months with STEM extension applicability.

Firstly, OPT stands for Optional Practical Training. USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) allows F-1 students to work legally in the United States for 12 months after completing their degree program.

There are three types of OPT:

  1. Pre-Completion OPT: In Pre-completion OPT, international students can get employment while they are enrolled in their degree programs for up to 12 months.

  2. Post-completion OPT: If you're graduating soon, and wish to get employment or work experience after graduation then you must apply for Post Completion OPT.

  3. STEM OPT International students who're completed their degree in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics field they can apply for STEM OPT and get work experience in their chosen field. You can extend 12 months STEM OPT to 24 Months STEM OPT.

There are many website resources you can reach to get yoour desired OPT job in the USA or for further information USCIS, United OPT, Linkedin, Indeed, etc.
