超詳細！

OPT&AT要開始準備了

如果你將在春季學期結束時完成你的課程，並且有興趣在美國尋求就業機會，那麼是時候開始準備OPT（F-1簽證）和AT（J-1簽證）了！越早準備越好！

OPT是你F-1學生身份的福利和延續，在美國移民局的授權下，允許你在專業相關領域工作長達12個月。如果你錯過了本學期的OPT線上說明會，不要擔心。你可以前往連結觀看影片回放：

你還可以在這裡獲取關於申請資格與流程的更多訊息：

AT是J-1學生身份的福利，允許你從事有薪或無薪崗位，將你所學的知識和技能應用到實際工作中。有意申請AT的學生學者，請參閱ISSO官網上的相關資料：

http://bit.ly/issoj1at

If you are completing your program at the end of the spring semester (Congratulations!), and are interested in pursuing employment in the U.S., it's time to learn about the Optional Practical Training (OPT) for F-1 status and Academic Training (AT) for J-1 status. Start your preparation early!

OPT is a benefit and extension of F-1 student status that allows you to work in your field of study for up to 12 months and is authorized by USCIS, the immigration agency. If you missed our OPT webinars this semester, don't worry! Watch the recording here: https://bit.ly/postoptwebinar and learn more about the eligibility requirements and application procedures: http://bit.ly/optemployment.

Academic Training is a benefit of J-1 student status that allows you to work —either paid or unpaid — for the purpose of applying knowledge and skills learned during your program of study. Graduating students in J-1 status whose DS-2019 was issued by Columbia and are interested in Academic Training (AT) should review the information on the AT webpage here: http://bit.ly/issoj1at. Other J-1 students should contact their J-1 sponsor for information.

春假海外旅行？

這些事兒你必須知道

春假要離開美國旅行的同學們注意了！出行前一定要檢視目的地的最新旅行警示，並準備好返回美國時需要的全部檔案。

尤其要注意，你的I-20/DS-2019上的旅行簽字是否在計劃返回美國當天仍然有效。如果無效，請及時申請補籤。

做好萬全準備，才能玩得開心又安心！

If you are traveling abroad during spring, make sure to check any travel alerts of your destinations and have the documentation you will need when you return.

Check if the travel signature on your I-20/DS-2019 is up to date and valid on the day you plan to re-enter the U.S and apply for a reprint if you need a new signature.
