Optional Practical Training (OPT) is legal F-1 employment authorization which enables you to gain a maximum of 12 months of professional work experience in your field of study before or after completion of studies. OPT must be both recommended by the Office of International Services and authorized by the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (CIS) before you may begin working or reenter the U.S. from another country after graduating.
