Post-study work & PR in United States

⚠️ Immigration and settlement rules change often — treat this as a starting point and confirm the current rules before you rely on them.

After you graduate

OPT lets you work up to 12 months after graduating; STEM graduates can extend by 24 more (36 months total), and many move on to employer-sponsored H-1B visas.

PR / settlement

There’s no PR route from studying alone. Most graduates go from OPT to an employer-sponsored H-1B and then an employment-based green card — a real path, but one that depends on sponsorship and per-country limits.
