OjaP:
Very correct.

After tens of denials from top oil firms due to my ignorance, I learned my lesson. Whenever they ask if I was authorized to work as an international student, I always said NO, and what always followed was rejection emails.

So I did a little research about CPT. I found out that I can actually work, get a work authorization on my I-20 and use that as my work permit. So, the next opportunity came, I was asked if I had a work permit. I boldly said YES. A week later, I was offered the job.

The company told me they use E-Verify, so I knew I can't come up with any silly excuse. So I told them to give me a month to resume, they agreed. I went to my international officer, I told her I needed my I-20 to be authorized for CPT. She said I can't since my major didn't require an internship. I went to go talk to my professor, he refused saying they can't create an internship class for me since they had never done that before. I didn't say anything. I'd done my home work before then. I told him I would get back the following day.

I already knew what I was going to face. So I'd carried out an extensive research. I had my school and department catalogues dated back to 1970. Therein, I found out that there was an internship class for most STEM majors. You can register for a 1-5 units internship class any semester you want and get a CREDIT/NO CREDIT GRADE. I guess no one had used it before in my department hence my professor's ignorance and refusal.

The following day, I went to his office, showed him the catalogue, and told him I wanted to register for the class. He had no choice, he registered me and apologized that he didn't know that I could actually take an internship class. So I let him write me a letter saying that the internship class was part of my curriculum and would make me gain real life experience. I submitted that to the international student officer and she generated a new I-20 with a CPT work authorization which showed my start and end date, number of hours, including the company's name. So I called the company and told them I needed to register for an internship class and that I had no money to pay for tuition. I got them to pay for my tuition.

I knew E-Verify doesn't recognize CPT work authorization at the first check, so I told the HR folks that I would be rejected by E-Verify but should do a secondary check after that. They did that and the check was positive. I started working and even had to extend my end date like twice because I claimed I wasn't done with CPT. My internship grade in school was RP (I discussed this with my prof.). After I used all my life lines, I registered again for another internship class for another semester (I claimed part time on my I-20) but was working full time. I told my company to only pay me half time while the remaining half should be counted volunteer. They agreed but got compensated for the other half in another way that I will like not to mention here.

To cut the long story short, I am still with the company today. And whenever I look back at how I worked my way into getting the CPT approval and taking some bold steps in 2012, I just smile and thank God.

I hope this helps someone out there.

bigfrancis21:
$5,000 cash at hand is quite a lot of wad of money to be carrying about. $1000 to $1500 is ok for miscellaneous expenses and initial expenses during your flight and after you land here.

The maximum amount beyond which you should declare amount in possession is $10,000, as at when I travelled during my time. For any amount less than that, you are fine.

ok thanks...
