Travel Workshop
Once you attend a travel workshop, you may get an updated signature from an OISS advisor during walk-in hours. This workshop is designed to inform international students of the requirements for traveling outside of and returning to the U.S. in valid F-1 or J-1 student status. J-1 students who received their DS-2019 from a sponsoring organization such as Fulbright must obtain their travel signature from their sponsor.
F-1 Off-Campus Employment Options Workshop
(Before Completion of Studies) This workshop covers off-campus employment options for continuing, full-time students in valid F-1 status.
F-1 Post-Completion Optional Practical Training Workshop
(Work AFTER completion of program) F-1 students who have or are nearing completion of degree requirements may be eligible for post-completion optional practical training, which allows up to 12 months of employment authorization. You must be physically present in the U.S. to file for post-completion OPT. The government processing time is 90 days. The OISS advises students not to travel outside the U.S. while the post-completion OPT application is pending.
