FSW- Work Experience Question for Indian on F1 Visa in USA

[anirudhmehta]

Hi All,

Please spend some time on reading my post , your help is really appreciated and if someone has been in same condition and got a PR, please comment.
I am an Indian who completed his Master's from United States during August 2017- May 2019. Before coming to USA, I have worked full time in India after my bachelor's. During my master's I gained some experience through co-ops and internships and after graduation I have been working as well. Below mentioned are my experience with dates worked, Please let me know if they will count or not, mainly internships and co-ops ?

1. After Bachelors/Job : Company 1 : 1year 4 months (1st April 2016 - 31st July 2017) : Full Time 48 hours/week
2. During My Masters/Internship : Company 2 : 3.5 months ( 21st May 2018 - 31st August 2018) : Full Time 40 hrs/week
3. During and after My Masters /Co-op: Company 3 : 7 months (4 Feb 2019 - 9 August 2019) : Full Time 35-40 Hours/week
4. Current Permanent Job in USA : Company 4 : 1 year 2 months (12 August 2019 to current) : Full Time 40 hours/week

I am concerned if both my internship and co-op will count towards FSW EE work experience.?
If they count then I will have 3 or more years of experience.
So should I report both internship and co-op in MY EE application.?

All paid work experience counts, it doesn't matter if it was an internship or co-op placement.

Thanks all my work experience is paid.

Does it have to be continuous, because I read on IRCC that it should be continuous or1560 hours in 12 months??

One year must be continuous and in the same NOC. Any additional years do not need to be continuous or in the same NOC.

So after my Bachelors degree I did work for 1year 4 months after that it is broken due to internship and then again co-op and my job in USA are continuous , so given that they all should count right?

Yes.
