Employment in F-1 Status
This section discusses the kinds of
employment that are available to F-1 students under the regulations.
In order to maintain valid F-1 status, a student must not work in the
United States, unless the employment is specifically authorized under
one of the categories discussed in this section.
Types of employment available to F-1
students
- On-campus employment
- Employment authorized because of severe economic hardship
- Practical Training (Optional, Curricular)
All of these categories require
that the student be currently maintaining valid F-1 status. A
student who is out of status is not eligible for F-1 benefits,
including employment. Each F-1 employment category has
specific eligibility requirements, and most are also divided into
subcategories, so be sure to review each category in detail.
