The Optional Practical Training (OPT) can be obtained if you are on a student visa, F-1, and in a highly-skilled field. The OPT enables you to work for twelve months gaining practical training either before or after the completion of your studies. A family-based Green Card petition, Form I-130, would cause a conflict with OPT or TN, but not with the H-1B. Please feel free to contact us for further information at 203-870-6700.
