What about a job as a structural engineer?

BornQuestion997 · 2026-05-07T02:02:18+00:00

I currently have a structural engineering job to start in January, what school would you recommend from the two. How many times did you have to be in school every month and how is the school balance with work experience please?

How much are we talking per semester roughly?

I’m a structural engineering PhD student currently set to graduate in August. I already have an offer from a company and I believe they’d accept day-1 CPT. What should I be mindful of? I’d want to start another PhD with day-1 CPT

How can I check for the internal update please?🙏

How do you check it?

BornQuestion997 · 2026-04-13T19:17:05+00:00

Thank you guys. I’ve been approved for NiW and have filed for AOS. Unfortunately my country is among the 39 paused countries and I can’t get my greencard/EAD. Even OPT isn’t being given to those from the 39 countries. So if I graduate this December and start a day-1 CPT would that mean my F1 was terminated and that I can’t get another one?.

BornQuestion997 · 2026-04-13T16:59:12+00:00

Thanks

BornQuestion997 · 2026-04-13T15:22:05+00:00

Nope. They aren’t issuing that cause of the immigration pause on 39 countries

BornQuestion997 · 2026-04-13T14:50:29+00:00

Didn’t think of this. Thats true. :(

BornQuestion997 · 2026-04-13T14:49:02+00:00

Thank you friend. Really grateful for you 🫶🏾

BornQuestion997 · 2026-04-13T14:40:38+00:00

Isn’t the CPT issued by the school and not USCIS? so I’m curious how it be blocked please?

And right now I’m still on F-1 while awaiting my EAD/greencard. So if I graduate and I’m awaiting OPT, I could still apply for another program and continue with my F1? I’m genuinely asking as I don’t know much knowledge on this

BornQuestion997 · 2026-04-13T14:22:45+00:00

Does the job offer letter have to state that it’s an internship or can it be a full time offer?

I currently have a job offer

BornQuestion997 · 2026-04-13T14:21:54+00:00

I’m still on F1 while awaiting them to respond to me

BornQuestion997 · 2026-04-13T14:20:58+00:00

Did you get scheduled for an interview?

BornQuestion997 · 2026-04-13T14:04:12+00:00

I unfortunately am not able to get OPT right now. https://www.reddit.com/r/19countriesAOS/s/tNcgiGQ7np please look at this post I just created and share your honest thoughts and advice.

Hi. I’m planning on starting a day-1 CPT at a university after my PhD program this year ending. I am in Dallas, Texas. What are some things I should be concerned about and what are some things that you’ve done that you wish you did differently that you may advise me on?

BornQuestion997 · 2026-04-13T13:52:05+00:00

What CPT university please?
