OPT compliance. OPT employment must comply with applicable U.S. immigration requirements and generally must be directly related to the student’s major area of study. TNA provides recruitment and career services and does not provide legal or immigration advice. Candidates should confirm individual eligibility with their Designated School Official and, where appropriate, qualified immigration counsel.

Questions

Straight answers.

TNA does not offer or advertise guaranteed OPT, guaranteed visas, guaranteed H-1B, guaranteed sponsorship or guaranteed permanent residency. Placement locations, employers, compensation and start dates vary.

Is a job guaranteed for everyone who applies?

No. The guarantee applies only to candidates TNA formally approves for the Guaranteed Placement Track. TNA reviews every applicant first and only accepts candidates when their background, expectations and work authorization fit real employer demand.

Does the €350 membership guarantee me a job?

No. The TNA USA Career Membership is a career-development and opportunity-access product: your professional profile, the USA opportunity database, applications, interview preparation, resources and ongoing support. It is optional, and it is not a payment for guaranteed employment. The Guaranteed Placement Track is a separate programme that you apply for.

Does TNA sponsor visas or H-1B?

No. TNA does not guarantee OPT, visas, H-1B, sponsorship or permanent residency, and does not provide legal or immigration advice. Some employers may discuss sponsorship case by case — that is always the employer’s decision.

Does my job have to relate to my degree?

OPT employment generally must be directly related to your major area of study. TNA only proposes roles that can appropriately relate to your field of study, and you should confirm your individual eligibility with your Designated School Official.

Where could I be placed?

Possible markets include California, Florida, Texas, Washington, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Arizona, North Carolina and Illinois, and other U.S. locations. TNA does not promise a specific city — flexible location and realistic salary expectations widen the roles you can be matched with.

What happens if I am not accepted onto the Guaranteed Placement Track?

You keep your free TNA profile and can still browse and apply to USA opportunities yourself. If your profile fits but the current intake is full, TNA can place you on the waitlist for the next intake.

Who pays for the placement?

Employers work with TNA through recruitment and placement agreements. The Guaranteed Placement Track is admission by application and approval — it is not something a candidate buys.
