  • Allows for limited on-campus employment and optional practical training (OPT) upon program completion.

M-1 Visa: Vocational Students

  • For students enrolled in vocational or technical programs.
  • Does not permit work outside of the program’s scope.

J-1 Visa: Exchange Visitors

  • For individuals participating in cultural exchange programs, including academic studies and professional training.
  • Includes options for work-and-study programs.
