Hi,
Has anyone here ever gotten one of those work permits for F1 students? I heard that I had to demonstrate that my finances have recently changed so that I need extra money. Does anyone know anything about this permit?

Also, can I get Optional Training after I finish my bachelors AND after I finish graduate school, or do I only get one year after I get done with all of my school?

Thank you guys!
