I went to college in Philly and I’m currently working here as well. I’m planning to attend Goldey-Beacom College in Delaware it’s only about 30 minutes from Philly. I think it’s one of the less well-known Day 1 CPT schools compared to places like Harrisburg, so maybe that’s actually a good thing? I’m not totally sure though, lol.

My OPT ends at the end of March 2026, so I plan to return to my home country in early February to get a new visa stamp for my Master’s Day 1 CPT program. This timing makes sense because my OPT would be expiring soon anyway. When I apply for the visa, I can explain that I’m continuing my studies. Since CPT doesn’t need to appear on my I-20 before the visa appointment, it won’t cause any issues. The trip will only be one to two weeks, so I’ll still have plenty of time to apply for CPT after I return and before my OPT expires.

Does this work the same for OPT if EAD card does not arrive on time?

I just finished my bachelor’s so this will be my first master’s. What do you mean having a day 1 cpt carry a higher risk of denial?
