hi blinders, thanks for the time to see this meaningless posts in advance. just in case my opt is delayed too much or in worst case denied(i dont believe so), can i use cpt for the full time work by registering one of masters course in US? i know few friends working in blackrock, few other banks etc, who is using their cpt for the full time and attend class once a every 42days(6weeks, but sometimes skip). i checked with lawyer that this method is not illegal, but given that i have an offer from Amazon, does this can work? my plan is, 1. using cpt from this university to work full time 2. apply h1b and green card at the same time 3 once i get the work permit(either h1b or green card), drop off from the school please let me know your thoughts and hope no one trolling on this thread.... p.s. amazon HR was super nice in both personally and professionally. He said he can wait until OPT is issued even thought it can be delayed, but want to have some backup plan for sure. sincerely, tc typical amazon sde1
Oh i see, so if i use that, i will be fine in the short term since it is not illegal, but there is a high chance that uscis officer reject h1b or greencard since it is legal uncomfortable way to work.. am i right?
Yes. And the current administration is really trying to make the life hard to foreign workers... especially to H1B.
If it wasn't illegal, why did DHS deport so many folks from their fake University? Just that fact that you join university to work and not study is illegal. (https://www.google.com/amp/s/beta.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/01/31/ice-set-up-fake-university-hundreds-enrolled-not-realizing-it-was-sting-operation/%3foutputType=amp)
Please don't use day 1 cpt. I know of enough folks who went this path and one even got deported. Its not worth it for anyone - even the CEO of these universities go-to jail. The Chicago based Honeypot that DHS ran was also a day 1 cpt. How would you know if the one you are joining isn't a Honeypot? Everyone who joined that DHS fake University didnt think it was Honeypot and they are all either packed their bags and are long gone after being jailed and are now back in their home country with no chances of entering next x years. Again, not worth it. Please don't! For your mental sanity.
I found one name with HARRISBURG UNIVERSITY In PA and they do require to attend achool once eveey six weeks.. does it make safer??!
Everyone who attended that Chicago fake University never knew it wasn't safe for YEARS!!. If it's real university they will require: 1) student should attend full time, not 1 day in k weeks. If you need to attend only once in k days, why even need a f1? Why not do it remotely? 2) wait until a year of full time studentship to get cpt. Remember if you know that you aren't attending to study but to work, it's against the spirit of the visa and that's enough grounds to consider illegal.
What you want to do is called “Day 1 CPT”. While it is not illegal, the USCIS do scrutinize use of those work authorization, especially for people who try to change status at a later time without obtaining a degree. They are many cases of H1B change of status being denied because the adjudicating officer consider that the CPT, while legally obtained, was improperly used.
The purpose of a CPT is not obtaining a full time job. It’s to supplement your curriculum. Nothing else.
And a misuse of a student status/visa could permanently prevent you from obtaining any other type of visa.
