This episode is designed to help our International Students who plan to stay in the US as long as possible. If that's your plan, you need to think beyond an OPT. Here are a few examples of questions we walked through with Attorney Art Serratelli in this episode:

😕😕Why H-1B is the most popular employer-sponsored visa? 

What's the cost and processing time like?  

Why do some companies clearly said that they didn't want to sponsor?  

What are some key changes that will impact future H-1B sponsorship in 2020?  

🚨What should be the strategy for the year 2020? 

Art is the Partner Serratelli Mijal PLLC – a skilled immigration law firm that helps clients from all over the world secure their future in America. Coach Kwan and Attorney Art walked through all FAQs from many international students and educators when it comes to H-1B sponsoring.

When should I apply for the OPT? What should be the start date? I'm not sure if I can get a job within that 90-day allowance timeline, what should I do? What are the common errors that lead to OPT denial? What should I watch out for?

At this time, many international students are now preparing for a summer internship or a full-time position after graduation. As CPT and OPT filing could be so confusing and chaotic, international students should be well-informed about things that they should and shouldn't do when it comes to CPT and OPT. 

We want to help you avoid making common mistakes and be able to prepare for this in a more strategic way. Coach Kwan has invited Dr. Michael Elliott,  the Director of the International Student and Scholar Services at the University at Albany, State of New York, to share with us some common mistakes that students normally make during their CPT and OPT applications.
