I have just graduated in Physics and my OPT starts from June. My university offered me a Part-time instructor and I am going to start this job from June as a Instructor. I am planning to work for one year in my OPT period.This university doesn't sponsor for my H1B visa. But I have read that :
http://internationaloffice.berkeley.edu/students/Current/OPT_new_rules.php
Periods of Umemployment
- Students authorized for 12 months of OPT put their F-1 status in jeopardy if they are unemployed for more than 90 days cumulative.
- Students authorized for 29 months of OPT in total put their F-1 status in jeopardy if they are unemployed for more than 120 days cumulative (see below for more information on the new 29 month rule)
Now , I am wondering whether I can work one year as a Part-time instructor without voilating the New -Opt-rule. Your valuable comments is highly appreciated.
