“Gustavo Bottan has been my mentor since Sep 2013 through MIT graduate students mentorship program. As a passionate entrepreneur who understands both China and U.S very well, Gustavo has devoted to build ties between China and U.S through various startups and non-profit organizations. I have gained so much support and advise of career development from Gustavo. He makes me understand how to leverage my background advantage to seek opportunities in both U.S and Asia and provides me with an OPT internship opportunity through American Asian Ventures. I think the idea of OPT4America is very constructive and will offer many international students with valuable opportunities to gain experience in U.S from OPT.”

Foreign graduate at MIT obtains job with top rated American company overseas:

Foreign graduate at Tufts obtains OPT visa and launches business in America:“I learned about OPT4America when attending a social function by the entrepreneurial community in Boston. At the time, I had one year to graduation and was concerned of my status as a foreigner wanting to stay in the US to launch my business. OPT4America helped me coordinate my OPT application, address all my concerns to make sure I met US regulations, and now with my OPT Employment Authorization in hand, I’m being mentored on all aspects of planning, registering, operating, and growing my business, not to mention increasing my understanding of American culture, business practices, negotiations, and networking .”

Foreign graduate at Brandeis transitions to working in the US:“I came across OPT4America, recommended by friends in other universities who had knowledge of their programs. After meeting with the Executive Director, I decided to start their Research Internship 3-month program, which allowed me to immediately transition from student to working life, utilizing my recently awarded OPT visa. During this period, I’ve worked under OPT rules with an advisor supporting me in my research project every week and opening connections with industry in my field. As a result, I’m better prepared to compete in the global marketplace.”
