Am I eligible to work under F-1 status? 
B 
Optional Practical Training (OPT) allows a foreign 
student in valid F-1 status to accept employment in a 
field directly related to his/her major field of study. 
However you must have completed, or have been 
pursuing a degree and maintained F-1 status generally 
for at least 9 months or 2 semesters.

17-month extension if the field of study is within STEM 
(science, technology, engineering, mathematics).

D 
How can I work in the U.S. after my education 
and OPT are exhausted? 
H1B Visa is the ideal non-immigrant visa for foreign 
nationals with at least a bachelor's degree or equivalent. It 
allows you to work temporarily in a 'specialty occupation'. 
Call: 1-202-787-1944 or Visit: www.VisaPro.com
When can my employer file H1B petition? 
E 
An employer cannot file an H1B petition more than six 
months in advance of the employment date. Hence, the 
earliest an employer can file an H1B cap-subject petition 
is April 1st for employment starting no sooner than 
October 1st.

Call: 1-202-787-1944 or Visit: www.VisaPro.com 
.
What is the H1B Cap? 
A 
There is an annual limit, referred as H1B Cap, on the 
number of new H1B petitions that can be approved in a 
year. The current H1B annual cap is 65,000. There are an 
additional 20,000 H1B’s available for those with a U.S. 
Master’s degree or higher. 
Call: 1-202-787-1944 or Visit: www.VisaPro.com
The H1B filing season begins 
April 1st each year allowing 
employers to file petitions for 
foreign nationals to start work in 
the U.S. under H1B status on 
October 1st of the same calendar 
year. 
Call: 1-202-787-1944 or Visit: www.VisaPro.com
Can I use Cap Gap, 
B 
i.e. continue working after my OPT expires? 
F-1 students whose OPT expires after the H1B is filed can 
continue working until September 30. Students with 
pending or approved H1B petitions can remain in F-1 
status through October 1 or until the H1B petition is 
approved, whichever comes later, regardless of the fact 
that their status and/or work authorization otherwise 
expired. This is called “bridging the gap. 
Call: 1-202-787-1944 or Visit: www.VisaPro.com
How does Cap Gap help me? 
C 
After the H1B change of status petition has been filed, the 
automatic cap gap extension will begin and continue until 
the H1B petition adjudication process has been completed. 
If your H1B petition is approved, your extension will 
continue through September 30th. 
Call: 1-202-787-1944 or Visit: www.VisaPro.com
Who qualifies for a Cap Gap extension? 
D 
F-1 students who have H1B petitions timely filed on their 
behalf during the H1B acceptance period, which begins on 
April 1st, qualify for a ‘cap gap’ extension. 
Call: 1-202-787-1944 or Visit: www.VisaPro.com
Timely filed means that the H1B 
petition was filed while the student's 
authorized F-1 duration of status (D/S) 
admission was still in effect (including 
duration of the academic course of 
study, any authorized periods of post-completion 
OPT, and the 60-day 
departure preparation period known as 
the grace period). 
Call: 1-202-787-1944 or Visit: www.VisaPro.com
What if I do not qualify for Cap Gap? 
You will need to leave the U.S., apply for an H1B visa at a 
consular post abroad, and then seek readmission in H1B 
status, for the dates reflected on the approved H1B 
petition. 
Call: 1-202-787-1944 or Visit: www.VisaPro.com 
E
If your petition is not selected, 
you will have the 60-day grace 
period from the date of the 
rejection notice or the program 
end date, whichever is later, to 
prepare for and depart the U.S.
