New Interpretation of CPT – Curricular Practical Training – for F-1
Students
By ImmigrationGirl March 15, 2018 F-1 Students No Comment
Continuing Studies for a Second Degree at the Same Level
An unfortunate byproduct of the H-1B cap and current lottery system is that
many international students who have graduated from U.S. universities and
have job offers from U.S. companies end up not being selected for H-1B visas
. What’s worse, more and more students are not selected year after year and
ultimately run out of Optional Practical Training (OPT) time, even with a
24-month STEM extension.
Students in this situation must choose to leave the U.S., change to some
other status if eligible, or continue their studies and buy time until they
can try again the following year. Some students decide to return to school
to complete a second degree at the same level of study. For example, a
student graduated with a master’s degree in computer science, completed the
initial one-year of OPT, completed two-years of STEM extension, and returns
to school to complete a master’s degree in business administration.
Some schools lure students in to these second degree programs by offering
them another way to work: CPT or Curricular Practical Training. CPT is
similar to OPT, except that it is done during the program of study, whereas
OPT is normally done after the program of study is complete. For schools
that authorize CPT, the student can continue working while in school and try
again in the H-1B lottery the following year.
These CPT programs have already been scrutinized in the past because, in
general, CPT cannnot be authorized during the first year of study. There are
exceptions and some schools have used this exception to authorize students
to work even during the first year of study (“Exceptions to the one
academic year requirement are provided for students enrolled in graduate
studies that require immediate participation in curricular practical
training”).
But now, a new interpretation of the regulations by USCIS suggests that CPT
cannot authorized AT ALL if the student is at the same degree level. This is
based on an existing regulation which states:
“A student may be authorized 12 months of practical training, and becomes
eligible for another 12 months of practical training when he or she changes
to a higher educational level.” 8 CFR 214.2(f)(10).
This has historically been interpreted only to apply to OPT, not CPT.
However, the regulation itself just refers to “practical training” and
does not specify which types of practical training it applies to. We are now
seeing H-1B petitions where the change of status from F-1 to H-1B is being
denied on the grounds that the student participated in practical training
for a period longer than allowed by regulation. The H-1B petition itself may
still be approved, but when the change of status portion is denied, it
means the petition is approved without a new I-94 card, the beneficiary must
leave the U.S., apply for an H-1B visa at a consulate, and if approved,
return to the U.S. to regain status and work pursuant to the H-1B approval.
Students must be aware of how unauthorized CPT can impact their future
immigration status and career. Even if a school authorizes CPT, it does not
guarantee that USCIS will agree that it was authorized. Using the F-1 visa
program as a bridge between H-1B lotteries may not be the best option for
your long-term goals.

别老是听风就是雨,文章都不看就转。只是不能通过修同一级别的学位来反复获取新的
CPT,
又没说取消CPT,这项规定已经在OPT里面了,同一级别的学位只能共用OPT时长。

搞笑的是当初在国内翻译的名字是激情1990, 当时以为是毛片,偷偷租回家看,结果
一开始很失望。看到逃出去的那段真的很震撼
一开始的情节很沉闷,最后那段沙滩和那个自由的感觉真棒阿
这个电影是最喜欢的。
