[CPT 全面暫停了嗎?先別恐慌,但留學生的備用路線正在變窄。]
近日 SEVP 加強 CPT 合規審查,部分學校也已暫停特定類型的 CPT。需要強調的是:CPT 並沒有被全美取消。
但政策方向正在明顯收緊。對 F-1 留學生而言,尤其是非 STEM、畢業後只有 12 個月 OPT 的學生,過去常見的「OPT 結束後再讀一個學位、透過 CPT 繼續工作並等待下一次 H-1B 抽籤」這條路,未來可能變得更困難。
今年新的 F-1 規則與近期 CPT 合規審查,都再次提醒國際學生:
"不要等到 OPT 快結束、H-1B 沒抽中之後,才開始想下一步。"
越早評估 OPT、STEM OPT、H-1B、職業移民及其他可能的身分選項,就越有空間應對政策變化。
📌 政策會變,留美規劃不要等到最後一步。
如您正在就讀 F-1、即將畢業或目前正在 OPT/STEM OPT 期間,歡迎與我們聯繫,提前規劃適合自己的留美路線。

[Is CPT being suspended nationwide? Not exactly — but international students should pay attention.]
SEVP has recently increased scrutiny of CPT compliance, and some universities have already paused certain types of CPT. CPT has not been eliminated nationwide, but schools may become more conservative when approving CPT.
For F-1 students, this is another reminder that the traditional “backup plan” after OPT may become less reliable — especially for students who planned to enroll in another degree program, use CPT, and continue waiting for another H-1B opportunity.
With recent F-1 policy changes and increased CPT scrutiny, students should consider their immigration options **before** OPT is close to expiration.
Planning early for OPT/STEM OPT, H-1B, employment-based immigration, and other potential options can provide significantly more flexibility when policies change.
📌 Immigration policies change. Your immigration plan should start early.
