Re: [北美] 美國 CPT 長度問題

[cchris (cruise specialist)]

※ 引述《ShadowDied (Shadow)》之銘言：
: 不過Full Time的話做超過一年的話,以後就不能申請OPT.
: 但是這些仍無法解決我心中的疑惑, 所以又查了 USICE, 不過還是有些問題,
: USICE 關於 CPT 的說明: http://www.ice.gov/sevis/students/cpt.htm
: 其中寫到:
: Students who have received one year or more of full time curricular
: practical training are
: ineligible for post-completion academic training.
: 問題一: post-completion "academic" training 就是指 optional practical
: training (OPT)
:         post-completion 的那部份嗎?
對
: 問題二: "one year" 是怎麼定義? 01/02~12/30 這樣算一年嗎?
: 還是超過11個月就算12個月, 也就是一年?
:         是以天計算, 以週計算, 以月計算?
就是從某年某月某日到第二年的某月某日-1左右，EAD等等的不也都是這樣算的嗎?
: 問題三: 我 program 其中的一個 criteria 是:
:         Students must complete a minimum of two years of teaching experience
:         in a full-time
:         special education position or the equivalent (form CL-41 EXP,
:         signed by the district’s director of human resources)
:         in a public school or private school of equivalent status
:         while holding the Preliminary Level I Disabilities Specialist Credential.
:         請問這樣符合 exception 嗎?
你誤解了exception
exception是針對另一個限制的exception: 必須入學滿一年才能開始CPT
如果program需要在入學以後馬上開始CPT的話，就符合exception
這和post-OPT無關
這段文字沒有特別描述另一個requirement，文意的確有些不清
給你看另一個學校的比較完整的來自DHS的文字
The student must have been lawfully enrolled on a full-time basis for one
academic year before being eligible for CPT. An exception exists for graduate
students whose programs require immediate participation in an internship, a
practicum, or other employment. It is available only while the student is in
valid F-1 status and before the completion of his/her program. Students in
English language programs are not eligible for CPT. If the student had a gap
in study or a status violation, the one academic year waiting period may need
to be recalculated once the student has again obtained valid F-1 status.
結論: 做滿一年CPT就會喪失OPT，而且沒有任何例外

: 希望板友可以多多指教與提供資訊, 謝謝!
