Work Permit for Non Resident Students in US

An F1 visa holder is legally allowed to work 20 hours every week. F1 visa holders, suffering from economic hardships can secure off-campus jobs by acquiring an employment authorization document (a work permit) before taking up any off-campus employment.

The Employment Authorization Document (EAD) is issued by the USCIS, which authorizes a non-resident to work in the US for a specific period of time.

F1 Visa Holders are allowed to apply for an EAD when
  • Foreign Students with F-1 status seeking Optional Practical Training (OPT) in a job directly related to their studies.
  • F-1 students looking for off-campus employment owing to economic hardships.
   EAD Application Process
  • The EAD applicant must fill Form I-765 via mail and send it to the USCIS center that serves the location where he/she resides.
  • The applicant must also submit other documents like, photos, copy of form I-94, copy of last EAD (in case the applicant holds one) and fee
The applicant must apply for a new EAD, six months prior to the termination of his original EAD. If the USCIS does not approve an EAD application within 90 days (within 30 days for an asylum candidate), the applicant may ask for an Interim EAD document.
