F-1 Student Visa Attorney in Chicago

The F-1 student visa is the most common visa for international students attending U.S. colleges, universities, and language programs. At Liberum Law, our F-1 visa attorneys in Chicago assist students with initial visa applications, maintaining status, employment authorization, and transitioning to post-graduation work visas.

F-1 visa holders must maintain full-time enrollment, limit off-campus employment to authorized categories (CPT, OPT, economic hardship), report changes of address and school transfers to USCIS, and maintain valid I-20 documentation. Violations can result in loss of status and potential removal from the United States.

Our F-1 services include initial visa application and consular interview preparation, school transfer processing, CPT and OPT applications, STEM OPT 24-month extension applications, reinstatement for students who have fallen out of status, and H-1B cap-gap extensions for students transitioning to work visas.
