#Opt

Since it’s graduation season, I’d like to reminisce on the tröomatic experience that was ✨job searching✨ in the US as an international student… Can’t believe it’s been 4 years already but the tröoma is still everlasting 🥺🥰🥵 #internationalstudents #h1b #I20 #OPT

F-1 & J-1 Students: Did you forget to file for previous years? 🇺🇸⏳ Common Myth: “Still Studying or No job = No taxes.” The Reality: Every international student (and their dependents) must file Form 8843, even if you didn’t earn a single penny in 2025. If you’ve been in the US and didn’t realize you had to file taxes—even with $0 income—don’t panic! You can still fix it. Maintaining your tax compliance is a key part of keeping your F-1 or J-1 visa in good standing. How to “Backfile” for 2023, 2024, or earlier: 1️⃣ Find the Right Form: Go to IRS.gov and search for “Prior Year Products.” Download the Form 8843 for the specific year you missed. (e.g., the 2024 version) 2️⃣ Fill it out: Complete Part I and Part III. You don’t need an SSN or ITIN if you had no income! 3️⃣ Sign & Mail: You must print and mail each year’s form that you missed. 📍 Mailing Address: Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service Center, Austin, TX 73301-0215. Status Saving Tip: Always take a tracking service with USPS when mailing important documents to IRS. Pro-Tip: If you missed a year where you did have income (W-2), you’ll need to file a late Form 1040-NR. Do it now before the IRS sends a notice! Save this to fix your records and stay compliant! 💾 Tag and Share to a friend who arrived in the US last year as a student! 🔄 F1 Student Tax, USA, J1 Visa Taxes, Form 8843 Instructions, No Income Tax Filing, USA, masters, bachelors, grads, fyp, viral, International Student USA, IRS Austin Address, Backfiling Taxes, Visa Status Protection, Non Resident Alien, Student Life USA, Tax Deadline 2026, F2 Visa, J2 Visa, Exempt Individual, Substantial Presence Test, Sprintax, Glacier Tax, H1B Preparation, US Tax Laws, Graduate Student. #opt #f1visa #j1visa #studyusa #taxseason

I used to rely way too much on LinkedIn for job search. That was the mistake. If you’re an international student, these are 5 sites worth adding to your search stack: Handshake for student and early-career roles through your university network. Jobright AI as a matching tool to prioritize roles faster. MyVisaJobs to research companies with prior sponsorship history. OPTnation for OPT/CPT/international-student job search. Interstride for international-student-focused jobs, internships, and immigration/career resources. The main point is not that one site will save you. It is that using the right mix can save you time and help you search smarter. Comment OPT and I’ll send you the full guide. Save this before your next application session. #InternationalStudents #JobSearch #OPT #CareerAdvice #JobsInUSA [international students, job search, opt, career advice, jobs in usa]

WHAT’S CHANGING: Duration of Status (flexible visa) → Fixed cap (up to 4 years) Your I-94 gets an expiration date Grace period post graduation: 60 days → 30 days THE SHIFT: Your school approves extensions NOW USCIS decides extensions AFTER Sept 2026 (if rule is passed) No more flexibility from your international office CRITICAL IMPACTS: ✓ 2-year Master’s = You finish, must leave (unless USCIS approves extension) ✓ PhD programs = Need multiple extensions ✓ OPT access threatened (USCIS director wants to restrict it) ✓ Can’t change programs THE TIMELINE: May 5, 2026 — Rule submitted to OMB (still under review) Sept 2026 — Likely effective date 3 MONTHS TO PREPARE REALITY CHECK: 54% of international students chose the US ONLY for OPT access This rule makes OPT uncertain Nearly 70% of international students pursue graduate degrees Most take longer than 4 years WHAT TO DO NOW: 1. File OPT applications 90 days before program end date. 2. Talk to DSO if program exceeds 4 years (applicable once rule passes) 3. Budget for USCIS extension fees ($420-$470) - once the rule pass 4.

Fraudsters exploit these systems by sending fake money requests disguised as transfers you initiated or calling while impersonating customer support to trick you into sharing your OTP. According to a 2022 CERT-In report, India witnessed a surge in UPI fraud, with over 84,000 complaints filed. Remember, UPI is for sending money, and your OTP is confidential. Stay vigilant to protect your hard-earned money. #CyberPeace☮️ #cybersecurity #cybersafety #opt #upi #fraudsters #scams #cyberaware
