Zarathustra	Posted on 27-Jan-04 12:01 PM Does anyone know if you can do paid internships while in college legally. Does that effect the opt training permit we get after we graduate.... Please I need to know....
GurL_Interrupted	Posted on 27-Jan-04 12:53 PM Yes, as long as you take it for a credit from your college, in which case, you might have to enroll for a class. So, which means, you might be paying to ur college/uni for the credit hour that you will be taking that internship for. But at the same time, u get experience and MONEY! And if you take ur internship for a credit, as far as I am aware of, no, it does not effect ur opt! Talk to ur professors, registrar, international student adviser 'bout it! Good Luck with everything! P.s: This is what I know...There might be other options available as well. I hope others who are aware about how it works will not hesitate to share their knowledge with you! Best wishes again! Peace, In a same boat!
oys_chill	Posted on 27-Jan-04 01:10 PM Yes, I think its called CPT (Curricular Practical Training)! The important fact to keep in mind is that if you exceed CPT over a year, you will not be allowed to do OPT. I knew a guy who told me how to rip the college off the way they have been ripping you off for years ;)...SIMPLY DO CPT FOR 364 days and stop ;). So that you can still be able to do your OPT.
