On
Campus Employment
International students in F-1 status are eligible to work on-campus
without prior authorization from the United States Citizenship
and Immigration Service (USCIS). On-campus employment includes
assistantships and other work on campus that is not considered
work study. However, students are limited to 20 hours of work
per week except for annual vacation times like Summer vacation
and holidays when they are eligible to work up to 40 hours per
week.
J-1 students in certain circumstances can also work on campus. They
should first speak to someone in the OIP before accepting employment.
Anyone in the F-2 immigration status is ineligible to accept employment
(see Dependents below).
Graduate Students
Many graduate students have assistantships during the academic year
that are 20 hours per week, therefore, making them ineligible for
additional work on-campus. However, if a graduate student has an assistantship
that is 10 hours of work per week, then he/she is eligible for an
additional 10 hours of work.
Dependents
Many students have their spouse and children with them in the
U.S. Spouses and children of F-1 or J-1 students are classified
as F-2 or J-2 respectively. People in the F-2 category are NOT
able to study nor accept assistantships or any other type of employment.
If an F-2 is offered admission and/or an assistantship or other
employment they must change their status to F-1 before they can
register for classes or begin employment.
For the change of status, the F-2 should make an appointment with
an adviser in the OIP in order to complete the paperwork. It may
take up to 3 to 4 months for immigration to process the papers.
Meanwhile, the F-2 must wait until the change of status to F-1
has been approved prior to taking classes. Once the F-2 has been
granted an approval by USCIS to become an F-1, he/she cannot be
paid for the time he/she was an F-2. The first day of payment
should commence on the first day the student is an F-1.
