On completion of your degree, you are legally authorized to work in the US in your related field for about

a year. You need to apply for Optional Practical Training Employment Authorization (OPT). Most

international students get inducted into the company that hires them during their OPT period, by

sponsoring their H1-B or work visa. The H1-B work visa is usually granted by employers if they are

hiring international students in specialty areas such as software, engineering, accountancy, teaching or

marketing. Once your employer grants your H1-B, you are allowed to work in the US without returning

to your home country.
