I used six months opt for my first degree and then later I used probably another 12 months for another (yes, it had to be a higher degree). The immigration law changes so often. At least that was the...
I see. Hopefully, I will find an employer soon after my school. BTW, I know EAD, but what is AOS? (And, when should I start to contact an immigration lawyer about starting the
