What should I know about working as an international student?
So make sure you watch the dates and hours closely – don’t jeopardize your OPT! As with all employment, you should work closely with your International Student Office. The general rules will apply somewhat differently to undergraduates, graduate students and PhD candidates, and they can guide you.
How to become an international student in the USA?
Prior authorization by your school’s International Student Office and notification to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) is required. You must have been enrolled in school full-time for one year on valid F1 status (except for graduate students where the program requires immediate CPT)
When to apply for employment as an international student?
You can apply for OPT after being enrolled for at least 9 months, but you cannot begin employment until you receive your Employment Authorization Document (EAD) from USCIS and you have been enrolled for at least a year. You do not need to have a job offer to apply for your OPT EAD, and your OPT employment can occur anywhere in the US.
