CPT for 8 months Full time

[getraja21]

Hi, I'm on CPT for the last 8 months and my university is telling that if I work on CPT for 8 months, I'll be getting 4 months OPT.
If I do CPT for 2 months, I'll get OPT of 10 months. Is that true?

Who will decide the duration of OPT, University has authority or USCIS?

Please help me.

Every day of full-time CPT counts against your OPT time. If you work part-time during CPT, it’s okay. Duration of OPT is recommended by the DSO and then approved by USCIS. You cannot get OPT unless university through your DSO approves it.

show the link to university CPT and OPT will be decided by the uscis.but approving cpt is in the hands of your DSO

Less than 12 months is fine

Without any issues you can get the OPT and the OPT decision will be taken by USCIS !

School gives opt i20 based on that uscis gives opt .. And duration is generally 12 months some times it could be less ..

Uscis will do that... but if cpt is more than 1 year you will lose opt
