Choosing a Day 1 CPT School by Location
Save Time, Save Effort
Why Does Location Matter?
-
Importance of Geographical Proximity in Ensuring F1 LegitimacyAttending a Day 1 CPT school that is too far from where you live could trigger suspicions from USCIS, leading to additional scrutiny regarding your intent. They might question whether you really satisfy the onsite requirement of your school. The further scrutiny could result in a Request for Evidence (RFE) during your H1B visa application. Thus, selecting a Day 1 CPT university closer to your living place can ensure the legitimacy of your F1 status, reducing possible risks in future visa applications.
-
Reducing the Onsite Attendance BurdenMany Day 1 CPT universities are strict about their onsite requirements. Failure to meet the onsite requirement can lead to immediate dismissal from the school. To lower the burden of attending onsite classes, you need to choose a school that is geographically convenient for you. Usually, a Day 1 CPT school near large cities would be a great option for students. Choosing a geographically convenient Day 1 CPT school may enable onsite classes in just a one-day trip.
