Hi,

I'm currently having a one-year J-1 student visa. It will be due around the end of June. My friend told me that there is a OPT that I might apply to. She applied and succeeded, but she had a F-1) I have a bachelor degree but i didnt get it in the US. I google some information about OPT but it's all about students who hold F-1 visa. I wonder if I'm qualified to apply for OPT and how much possibility will I get it. Thank you!

j1 has "Academic training" which is similar to OPT, in fact better (18+18 month, easier approval). it has some requirements, look it up.
