Hi,

I'm a student with F1 visa. I finished my masters from university-A in Aug 2014 (summer graduation). Then I moved to university-B for my PhD, beginning late august 2014. However, due to some unlucky circumstances, I may have to discontinue my PhD studies in Spring 2015. Both A and B are state universities in the USA.

What are my options if I drop from my studies or get a dismissal from my program? Is there a way I can starting working (internship/job) by transferring to CPT or OPT?

Thanks,
