Hi Everyone,

My Opt is about to expire and the only way I can work is if I can get a full time CPT from any institutions. Is there any suggestion as to which ones in New Jersey or New York area can do that. Some of the few that I inquired can only give part time (20 hrs/ week)CPT for the first semester which can be converted to a full time later on. But since this will create a gap, I'd like to find out if there any way I can get a full time CPT. Help much appreciated.

Thanks.

 Maharishi University in Iowa would give 2.5 yrs full time CPT.

Needs suggestion from sajha friends:

My master's in Computer science from US university is about to be finished. I worked full time on CPT for more than a year (15-16) months. Now CPT is about to be finished. CPT extension seems not possible.
Can I join any colleges or university that will provide me initial full time CPT. Normally, CPT is provided after one or few semesters. I am planning to have it beforehand when I
joined for another master's so that I can look for h1b and can file it?

if unfortunately I didn't get any such colleges for CPT, then only probability is to join another master's to preserve status.
While enrolling for another master's degree, at the same time can I look for h1b and can file it if any company is willing to do it?

Thank you

 If you do distance education or online education with full time CPT job then yes you are eligible to have H1B visa.
