🚀From OPT to Opportunity: Make Every Step Count!

🎓Think Beyond Graduation

Graduation is just the beginning. To maximize your chances of staying and thriving in the U.S., it’s essential to align your degree, job search, and visa strategy early on. This means mapping out when to apply for CPT during your studies, planning your OPT period strategically, and preparing for the H-1B lottery process.

🗣The Importance of Early Employer Conversations

It’s never too early to start talking to potential employers about sponsorship. Employers who understand sponsorship are more likely to support your H-1B petition and possibly green card application down the line. Waiting too long to address this can cause missed opportunities.

💪🏻Have a Backup Plan for the H-1B Lottery

Since the H-1B lottery isn’t guaranteed, it’s smart to prepare alternative paths early. If you're eligible, the STEM OPT extension can buy you more time.Staying flexible with job roles or industries helps you protect your status and continue growing your career—even if the lottery doesn’t go your way.

⏳Time is Your Most Valuable Asset

Immigration and employment timelines go hand in hand. Delays in job search or paperwork can affect your ability to stay and work in the U.S. Partnering with experts who understand these timelines can save you from costly mistakes and stress. Proactive planning means you’re always a step ahead.
