About Osito
Osito was created to simplify the complex world of F-1 student work authorization. Our mission is to help international students confidently navigate their OPT and CPT options with clear guidance and personalized timelines.
Why We Built Osito
As former international students ourselves, we understand how confusing and stressful the process of planning for OPT and CPT can be. Between immigration terminology, strict deadlines, and complex rules, it's easy to feel overwhelmed.
We created Osito to be the friendly guide we wish we had during our F-1 student journey. Our goal is to make work authorization planning simple, accessible, and stress-free.
What Osito Does
Simplifies Complex Rules
We translate immigration jargon into plain English and present information in a clear, approachable way.
Creates Personalized Timelines
Based on your program details, we generate a custom timeline showing your eligibility periods and important deadlines.
Who We Help
Osito is designed for F-1 international students at U.S. universities who want to understand their work authorization options. We also aim to support DSOs and international student advisors in their work guiding students through these processes.
A Note on Immigration Advice
Osito provides general guidance based on standard F-1 regulations. While we strive for accuracy, our calculator is not a substitute for professional immigration advice. Always verify information with your institution's DSO, as university policies and individual circumstances may vary.
