因为现在工作比较无聊,发展空间有限且工资不高,打算在职读一个CS MS学位。起先考虑了 UW Seattle Professional CS MS 项目,但是项目介绍明确说了需要H的身份 (While those in the US on work visas are welcome to apply, those with student visas cannot be accepted, https://www.cs.washington.edu/academics/pmp/admissions)。同时因为经济原因,现在没有辞职转F1身份的打算,所以也暂时没有考虑NEU和UW Tacoma的fulltime MS项目。
综合考虑打算申请online CS的项目,考古了一下地里,打算申请 Gatech online OMSCS和UIUC MCS online 项目。那么问题来了,我问了原来学校的ISSO,学校说的很模糊,说如果是fully online program的话“应该”问题不大,ISSO小米的原文回复如下:
“The guidelines for that are really not clear. If it is totally online and part-time, it cannot be F-1 related. But, when you say you would be earning another degree, it could possibly be a problem. The safe answer would be “No”, but it this is something you want to do, you will need to seek the advice of an immigration attorney.”. Waral dи,

不知道有没有相同问题的同学:OPT身份是否可以enroll以上online项目,因为之后可能会提交485,并不想因为online项目引发不必要的麻烦。(当然,后面也会咨询律师 ..
同时,如果大家知道有其他好的CS项目,请推荐啊!
