Most placements run one semester, so lining up your curriculum documentation early is what keeps the offer from falling through.

Get Access To All JobsPolicy CPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Which policy roles qualify for CPT authorization?
CPT is available for policy roles when the work is an integral part of your degree program, not just related to your field. Positions at think tanks, advocacy organizations, government contractors, and intergovernmental bodies typically qualify if your DSO can tie the duties to a specific course or curricular requirement on your I-20.
Can I do CPT at a federal agency?
Federal agencies can hire F-1 students on CPT through pathways like the Pathways Internship Program, but the authorization structure differs. The agency must be able to confirm your CPT start date and duration, and your DSO must list the specific agency on your I-20. Not all federal positions accept CPT, so confirm with HR and your DSO together before accepting an offer.
Does part-time CPT affect my OPT eligibility?
Part-time CPT, defined as fewer than 20 hours per week, does not affect your post-graduation OPT eligibility regardless of how many semesters you use it. Full-time CPT used for 12 months or more eliminates OPT eligibility entirely. If your policy internship runs full-time for an extended placement, factor that tradeoff into your plan before accepting.
How do I find policy employers who understand CPT?
Employers with existing experience hiring international students on work authorization are easier to work with during the CPT documentation process. Migrate Mate surfaces policy employers filtered by their LCA filing history, which is a reliable signal that the organization already has HR processes in place for employment authorization documentation.
What documentation does the employer need to provide for CPT?
Your employer needs to provide a written offer letter or internship agreement that includes your title, duties, start and end dates, and hours per week. Your DSO uses this to authorize the CPT on your I-20. Some employers also need to complete a brief letter confirming the role aligns with your degree field, which your international student office may supply as a template.
