如果F-1学生转到其他学校或在另一个教育级别开始学习，其选择性实习训练(OPT)自动终止

美国公民及移民事务局（USCIS）提醒处于选择性实习训练（OPT）期的持F-1签证的学生，转到另一所学校或在另一个教育级别开始学习（例如，在完成学士学位后开始硕士课程）将自动终止其OPT以及相应的工作许可证（EAD）。

虽然从事OPT的许可在转到另一所学或改变教育级别时即终止，但持有F-1身份的学生只要遵守维持其学生身份的所有要求，则不会受到其他影响。这些要求包括不在EAD终止后工作，因为终止意味着学生不再被允许在美国工作。未经允许在美国工作会产生严重的移民后果，包括驱逐出境和限制再入境。此外，没有合法的非移民身份而留居美国可能会导致非法滞留的累积，这包含《移民和国籍法》之下的另一套处罚。

目前，美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）的学生和交流访问者项目（SEVP）向USCIS通告终止日期，根据现行规定，OPT的终止是自动的。USCIS已更新其系统，并将在得到SEVP的通知后开始将EAD终止日期输入这些系统。USCIS将通知受影响的学生，并通过指定的学校官员（DSO）为他们提供一个纠正记录中错误的机会。这一过程旨在加强F-1和OPT项目的一体化，确保SEVP和USCIS系统的一致性，并告知学生在EAD终止后继续工作可能产生的后果。

Automatic Termination of Optional Practical Training for F-1 Students If They Transfer to a Different School or Begin Study at Another Educational Level

USCIS reminds F-1 students on Optional Practical Training (OPT) that transferring to another school or beginning study at another educational level (for example, beginning a master’s program after completing a bachelor’s degree) automatically terminates their OPT as well as their corresponding employment authorization document (EAD).

Although authorization to engage in OPT ends upon transferring to a different school or changing educational level, students in F-1 status will not be otherwise affected as long as they comply with all requirements for maintaining their student status. These requirements include not working with a terminated EAD, because termination means that students are no longer authorized to work in the United States. Working in the United States without authorization has serious immigration consequences, including removal from the country and bars on reentry. Furthermore, remaining in the United States in violation of lawful nonimmigrant status could lead to an accrual of unlawful presence which includes another set of penalties under the Immigration and Nationality Act.

Currently, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) informs USCIS of the termination date, and the OPT termination is automatic under current regulations. USCIS has updated its systems and will begin to enter the EAD termination date into these systems after being notified by SEVP. USCIS will notify affected students and provide them with an opportunity to correct any errors in the record via their designated school official (DSO). This process is intended to strengthen the integrity of the F-1 and OPT programs, to ensure consistency between SEVP and USCIS systems, and to inform students of possible consequences of working with a terminated EAD.
