A role you cannot take is labeled and is never placed above a role you can take. You answer dropdowns only when your field has rules. The answers stay on your account and are not sent to a model. The guidance page has OPT and CPT links and sample H-1B rows. This is not legal advice. Flightpath does not collect visa documents.
The table quotes public pages from USCIS and from Study in the States, updated 24 August 2026. The rows are the public windows. Flightpath does not turn them into a rule of its own.
The label on the card is a sample. This page is not legal advice. Ask your school official before off-campus work.
