I am taking 13 credits right now. I want to apply for OPT and have a job offer as well. Is it possible to get OPT at this point? I talked to my international advisor and was told that it is possible to apply for OPT but i am not sure if she knows very detailed information regarding this matter. Please let me know if there is a possibility or should i just not apply for OPT and continue going to school.

Following info might be helpful: - International Sudent office Advisor would definitely lead you to the correct destination. - What was your Major/Degree(Bachelors'/Masters')? - Without OPT/CPT/EAD/H1B you can't work. Thats for sure. CPT: Can you apply for a CPT via your college. Get more info from College/ Internation Student Office(ISO). OPT: Since you have an offer letter, ask your Internation Student Office(ISO) to apply for OPT. H1B: In the meanwhile ask your employer if thay are willing to apply for your H1B this April. ( If everything works out - Cross your finger) ~GoodLuck

thank you so much for your advice and good wishes!! ill be going to talk to my advisor more about it tomorrow and see what she has to say. I really hope ill find a way to work. I really need a job at this time. I don't know if my employer can apply for H1 since I have Associates degree in nursing and not a bachelor's degree.

 NO. But you may apply for CPT since you are talking 13 hours. Ask to UCIS what they would say!
