I secured an internship for spring 2022 at NVIDIA and it’s full time. I will be eligible for CPT starting January. My question is can I work full time while taking my courses?
Will that have any implications in the future regarding my visa ?
I am a masters student and the internship is remote.

  • I'll preface this by saying you should confirm this with an international student counselor.
    That said, it is fully legal to do full-time CPT and take courses (source: international student counselor from my university).
    The requirements are that the internship must be integral to your academic studies (source: CPT requirements page on USCIS). None of the requirements prevent full-time CPT. But, who gets to say what meets the requirements? Your school does!
    So talk with the bureaucrats, and ask about this :) Good luck!

    Mostly depends on your school. I'm from uc and we had a way by which we could take most of our credits in earlier sems thereby doing an internship full-time in the last sem

  • You can work on full time CPT on a reduced course load typically during your final semester. Part time cpt upto 20 hours is possible during regular semesters
