International students holding F-1 status and graduating in 2013 are invited (and strongly encouraged!) to attend this workshop on applying for Optional Practical Training (OPT). The workshop will be facilitated by staff from VCU's Global Education Office - Immigration Services. This is the place to have all your questions regarding application timing, filing procedures, and best practices answered in person. Individual appointments for special circumstances are available, but attending this workshop is the best way to start the process.
