超详细！OPT申请攻略汇总

如果你本学期即将毕业（祝贺你🎉），并计划在美国找寻就业机会，是时候了解OPT申请了。

OPT是由美国移民局签发的工作许可，允许你在毕业后的12个月内在专业相关领域积累工作经验。OPT的最早申请时间为你的学习项目结束日期（即12月23日）前的90天。

如果你错过了本学期的OPT线上说明会，不要担心。你可以前往链接观看视频回放：

If you are in F-1 status, completing your program at the end of the fall semester (Congratulations!), and interested in pursuing employment in the U.S., it's time to learn about the OPT (Optional Practical Training) application process.

OPT is employment authorization granted by USCIS to work in your field of study after graduation for up to 12 months. The earliest you can apply is 90 days in advance of your December 23rd program end date.

项目结课前，不要忘了查阅ISSO官网

如果你的学业项目将于本学期结课，记得查看ISSO官网“Your Final Term”页面，获取留美期限、留美工作许可等关键信息和申请截止日期：http://bit.ly/finalterm

如果你的I-20或DS-2019的到期日晚于你的结课时间，请及时告知ISSO更新你的记录，便于你及时收到最新通知。

别忘了阅读ISSO为大家整理的《最后一学期指南》：

If you're completing your program this term, review ISSO's web page "Your Final Term" for information and deadlines, including but not limited to your grace period to remain in the US and obtain post-graduation work authorization: http://bit.ly/finalterm.

If your current I-20 or DS-2019 has a later completion date but you're completing your program this term, inform ISSO to update your program end date in your record so you will receive timely reminders.
