Employment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

International students in the U.S. in F-1 status may not accept off-campus employment unless they receive authorization from ISP. If your feet are on U.S. soil, you need employment authorization including for remote work. Working without authorization is one of the most serious violations of visa status and can result in your status being terminated. <\/strong>It can also result in immediate deportation. Please talk to Luyen, Molly, Britt or Laurie if you have any questions about employment authorization, or visit our Government Regulations<\/a> page to learn more about work authorizations and CPT.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\n\t
