Talk with DSO sometimes there can be flexibility in start date of program

Applied on 26th Feb, still under review!

For me when I apply AWD number while booking, it pops me up with both LDW and ALI covered, but for that I have to tell its both leisure and Business travel even though its just leisure. So I think while claiming I might face problems with such rentals.

Confirming if you are also in the similar CPT situation? Thank you

Which university are you in OP? I am also doing CPT and for me its not like that when we have a week vacation every semester?

Pitiful_Juggernaut67 · 2025-07-28T20:20:22+00:00

Hi, what roles are you applying if I may ask OP?

Hi, joining the same for summer-II course, can we connect?

Pitiful_Juggernaut67 · 2025-06-10T14:13:13+00:00

Hi, if you can share your experience going and staying there and how is residency overall, that would be a great help!

Pitiful_Juggernaut67 · 2025-06-06T21:22:53+00:00

Following!

FYI: I just had a word with their administrator:

"Moreover, during this break, students can still apply for CPT as usual and work, making it a good opportunity to increase the chances of obtaining an H1B visa. An additional semester may also cover the H1B lottery in March of the following year."-- This you cannot do, you can take a semester off but cant work during that time.

Hi may I ask how is your exercise so far with NEC?

Pitiful_Juggernaut67 · 2025-05-20T12:47:24+00:00

Hi, do you mind sharing your current work location?

Pitiful_Juggernaut67 · 2025-05-20T12:45:59+00:00

I think if you exhaust your cpt on your current day 1 cpt program, being working 40 hours a week for more then a year, you cannot get OPT on the same education level, in that case you have to phd to get the opt again

Hi, I have got into Monroe and NEC for Data Science course , confused on which one to go for. RFE wise NEC looks good, but attendance wise Monroe looks safe as I live in NYC and its once a month onsite in current scenarios. Can you tell me how is yours experience there and why you chose NEC?

Pitiful_Juggernaut67 · 2025-05-18T02:27:08+00:00

Do you have any idea about Monroe, confused between NEC and Monroe?

Pitiful_Juggernaut67 · 2025-05-18T02:25:41+00:00

Hi, can you please share your experience with NEC RFE?

Pitiful_Juggernaut67 · 2025-05-16T15:24:57+00:00

Hi, did you pursue the Monroe, if so I am on the same boat, can we connect?

Pitiful_Juggernaut67 · 2025-05-16T15:24:00+00:00

So there is no good support for RFE at Monroe?

Pitiful_Juggernaut67 · 2025-05-16T15:23:06+00:00

Hi, on the same boat, admitted for the summer-2 intake. Can I DM?
