If you are completing your program of study, you may be eligible to apply for post-completion Optional Practical Training (OPT). This application must be recommended by ISC and approved by USCIS. The employment authorization will allow you to work in a job related to your field of study. USCIS allows you to apply up to 90 days prior to your graduation date and up to 60 days after your graduate date. See an ISC adviser regarding eligibility requirements, the application process, and deadlines.
