Immigration laws don't provide a special green card program for students. Still, immigration laws provide F-1 students opportunities that help them on the path to permanent residence. They qualify for one year’s Optional Practical Training employment authorization for every degree they earn. Students with a bachelor’s, master’s or doctorate degree in a STEM subject (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics) qualify for an additional 17 months employment. While working with OPT, students can ask an employer to sponsor them for H-1B temporary professional employment status. H-1B status is available for at least six years, sometimes more. While in H-1B status, the student often gains the necessary experience to qualify for an employment-based immigrant visa.
