Is CPT an Acceptable Way of Working?

Question details

My H-1 6 years are about to be over. No way to extend per lawyers. Can I move to CPT?

ANSWER

This is tricky. Usually CPT in the first semester is looked upon with suspicion by USCIS, unless: 1. yours is a graduate program; 2. the practical training is integral to the academic program; and 3. the employer has signed a co-operative agreement with the school.
