If I’m a student on an F1 visa and am about to graduate, do I have 60 days to find an OPT or a job if I want to stay?
Or can I stay until my visa expires in a year? I have a few more questions and I have found some answers by Lana (the immigration attorney) very helpful and I don’t know how to contact her. Anyone’s help will be great. I am just a student and i would very much appreciate the help because I would like to stay in the US.

Hello. You technically have 90 days to find a job. while on OPT. I assume your OPT is approved. You can stay longer, but it is risky if you plan to change your status or if you plan to travel and re-enter. You can email me directly at: [email protected]
