Can international students work while studying in the US?

Hey just wanted to ask… if we go to the US on an F-1 visa, can we do part-time jobs there? like are there any rules about how much we can work per week or per month? also how to pay sevis fee for f1 visa? :grimacing: kinda confused with all this

Yeah you can work but only limited hours… like max 20 hrs per week during classes :sweat_smile: and only on-campus jobs are allowed at first. u can do more later but there’s like rules n stuff u gotta follow.

BTW after like 1 year u can apply for off-campus work called CPT or OPT… but u need permission from ur college + some paperwork. just don’t do anything without asking ur international office lol they’re strict abt it.

Also if you are still in the visa process, u gotta pay that sevis fee before u even book the visa interview. u can pay it online on the official site, it’s like $350. Make sure you keep the receipt safe… they’ll ask for it later fr.
