Discuss your Green Card eligibility with your employer's HR or legal department to determine the best path forward, typically through PERM labor certification and Form I-140 petition.

Your employer must be willing to sponsor you for a Green Card, so talk to them about initiating the process, which usually starts with a PERM application and then filing Form I-140 and I-485.

Consider discussing CPT with your DSO to assess whether it aligns with your academic goals and career aspirations, and to ensure you meet the necessary criteria, such as being enrolled full-time and having the internship be an integral part of your curriculum

Consider seeking guidance on the PERM labor certification process.

Ensure that your employer is willing to sponsor your Green Card application before you begin the process
