Any future problems working full time CPT ? How many months can CPT be used? Avoid CPT. That's a sure way to kill your career in the US. Concentrate on studying. Link to comment
omshiv Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Don't join that univ..you'll end up being deported with shackles along with your husband!!!! Link to comment
t75 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 You should be joining MS program for the education - not a work permit. CPT MUST be part of an established curriculum. It is very difficult to work full time and maintain a full masters course load or do a thesis. You can apply for H1B with a bachelors degree. Is this a legitimate university or a diploma mill catering to international students? If it is the second, don't waste your time or money. And - it is very late to be applying for a legitimate university's fall semester. Many have application deadlines in Dec or Jan. Link to comment

rahul412 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Thinking of joining MS for getting work permit. MS is NOT for work permit. That's for students. If you want to work then go for work visa or forget US forever. Link to comment
rahul412 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 It is Harrisburg University... Any comments plzz Every university offers CPT, bcos that's part of F1 program. CPT is NOT a work permit. Looks you doesn't know exactly what's CPT is for. If you are planning to work on FT basis then go for OPT or work visa, not CPT. CPT can be used for internship which should be part your F1 program.

jayasimha008 Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Any info regarding harrisburg university? Is that safe bet for MS and CPT? Link to comment
JoeF Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Have you not read the thread? Forget CPT. That would kill your future in the US> Remove that acronym from your vocabulay. An F1 is for studying, not for working. Link to comment
