Moving to France from US while on STEM OPT using Passport Talent
Posted by SubstantialSecret472@reddit | expats | View on Reddit | 4 comments
Hello!
I am currently an Indian working in the US on STEM OPT after finishing undergraduate and masters in the US. Unfortunately did not get through H1B but my company has an office in France and has agreed to send me there. The visa I’m told will be applicable for me is the Passport Talent visa. On the official French website, under the Pre-Requisites section it says “The travel endorsment signature is valid for one year and must not expire before the date of return to the USA“. The reason I am confused with this is because my OPT will essentially expire on Jan 2025 so how will the travel signature still be valid at this point? My coming back to the US will be uncertain once I leave for France.

Won't it be better to ask your company? They can provide much better clarification. Googling shows that it can be extended up to 4 years.

Moving to France is like opening a new chapter where everything feels familiar but written in a language you’re still learning.
