Optional Practical Training (OPT) is temporary employment that is directly related to a student's major area of study.

This program is administered by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the government agency that oversees lawful immigration to the United States (a part of the Department of Homeland Security).

For more information, the USCIS can be reached toll-free at:

1-800-375-5283 or 1-800-767-1833 (TDD for the deaf or hard of hearing) or at the USCIS website: working-united-states.
