A lot of Indian students aiming to study in the United States of America (USA) usually go for the F1 education visa. But once the studies are over and reality kicks in, students who are unfamiliar with US immigration law might run into problems, especially when looking for jobs in the US.
Shivani Raviprakash, an Associate Attorney at Gokare Law Firm based out of Alpharetta, Georgia, told ET Wealth Online that after finishing their studies, students must sign up for something called Optional Practical Training (OPT) which allows F-1 students to work for up to 12 months in a job that relates directly to their field of study after they complete their program.
