Work opportunities after graduating college on an F-1 visa

[james12 0]

I am wondering what are the job opportunites someone has after they graduate college and start work? Also what are the chances of being able to get a permanent job and then permanent residency/green card?

It depends on the degree and the demand and your grades / school. Get an engineering degree from a school like Harvey Mud and you have no problems. Get any degree from University of Phoenix and you will have trouble .

Something you want to do

From an institution that has credibility and good network opportunites.

In a field that there are obvious work opportunities

And if it leads to a US opportunity, great, bonus.

M.S in Computer Science would be a good start (Most in Demand).

That's a great question for the DSO at your school,

as

he knows you and

he knows your degree plan and

he knows you know you were supposed to start seeking work the semester before you graduated and

he knows how to help you with the OPT paperwork and

he just knows everything.

So, please, I beg of you - get into the DSO's office on Friday, have a talk with the DSO at your school.

honestly, it is very tough! I would focus on a STEM related program and that way you get 2 years of OPT training.. then you need a qulaity company that will sponsor you!!! I worked in the sports industry and did not realize no sports teams or like ESPN, Octagon ect sponsor visas:/ lol so that is tough!!! Also, stay away from marketing.. everyone does that and you wont get a sponsor with entry level position. Look for engineer, computer science ect.. also, you can do a masters after and get another year of OPT and another 2 year OPT if its stem related. A good school is best but honestly, volunteer and get your resume packed before you graduate with US based jobs.. american companies really like to see american work:)
