The United States is one of the world’s most sought-after destinations for higher education and cultural exchange. Whether you’re enrolling in a university, participating in a research program, or pursuing career training through OPT, the right visa and legal strategy can shape your academic and professional journey.
At MapleCrest Immigration Law, we help students and exchange visitors gain and maintain status, overcome refusals, and transition successfully into work or permanent residence.
The F-1 visa allows foreign nationals to pursue full-time academic study at U.S. institutions. It covers college, graduate programs, language schools, and more.
The J-1 visa supports a wide range of educational and cultural exchange programs, including interns, scholars, researchers, au pairs, and trainees.
Optional Practical Training (OPT) allows F-1 students to work for up to 12 months in their field of study after graduation.
We simplify student immigration from start to finish, including work and green card options.
We help students who’ve fallen out of status or been denied entry due to paperwork issues.
We assist with long-term immigration goals beyond study and OPT.
We support institutions, J-1 sponsors, and student advisors on compliance and strategy.
