Can a Foreign Student(F Status) work in the USA?

Can a Foreign Student(F Status) work in the USA?
By Bruce
It depends?
You can’t work during your first year of school except for working on-campus. After the first year, if the student is in good standing, you can get permission to work off campus. However, the DSO(Designated School Official) has to make the determination. You may be able to work off campus if you can show Sever Economic Hardship. You may be able to get permission if you have a real job offer as an Intern with an International Organization. Of course, if you have been a full-time student at least one year then you can get work off-campus if it is determined that it is Practical Training. This means that it should be related to what you are studying and the work is for the purpose of getting practical training and it is not to learn the English Language. So if you want to work, talk to your DSO.
