Employment eligibility and options for F-1 international students are limited by U.S. immigration regulations and are available only to students who have maintained lawful F-1 student status and are in good academic standing.
In all cases, students are required to obtain the prior, written authorization of either the Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS) or the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) before beginning employment. Students should not work without specific authorization from either the OISS or the USCIS. Failure to obtain prior authorization constitutes a serious violation of U.S. immigration regulations.
