Who it's for

Internships on CPT

You are still studying and want real experience in US tech. We find internships your school can authorize, send the applications and prepare you for the interviews.

Your DSO decides

Your DSO authorizes CPT in SEVIS for a specific employer and period, and the authorization prints on your Form I-20. You can't start work before it is authorized. We help you gather what your school asks for; we don't decide eligibility.

  • Each CPT authorization covers one employer and one period.
  • One year of full-time CPT eliminates your eligibility for OPT, so how much CPT you use matters.
