Graduate Route FAQs


Working in the United States

Every year, approximately 700,000 international students come to the United States to study. Every single one must apply for and receive the F-1 student visa in their passport before coming to the US. Once international students have graduated, they can apply for US work authorization known as “Optional Practical Training” or “OPT.”
