Options for F1 visa student to enroll in University to get CPT
Hello,
My spouse has valid F-1 visa and completed certification course form UCSC extension in Software QUality and Engineering. Spouse is currently on F-1 OPT which expires in January. We are thinking of getting admission for Masters which offers Day 1 CPT. What are our options provided following things:
1. Certification course is not considered masters degree IMO.
2. Will she get Day 1 CPT if it will be first masters ?
3. She has valid stamp till 2022 so just getting new I-20 will be enough? Or will she face issues when entering US once she is enrolled in university and CPT is started.
Your question will be reviewed by our moderator. Once reviewed it would be posted on Facebook wall at http://www.facebook.com/desiopt1 within 24-72 hours, else we would ask for more information.
Concordia College in Bronxville, New York is offering DAY 1 CPT for MS in Applied Statistics! It is a recently-launched STEM program and it appears to fit what your spouse wanted! Check the site out: https://www.concordia-ny.edu/academi...ied-statistics
