Indian Students on US F1 Visas Face Strict Work Limitations: What You Need to Know
Indian students on F-1 US education visas face strict work limitations. On-campus work is permitted up to 20 hours weekly while school is in session. Off-campus jobs in gas stations, restaurants, or retail are generally illegal unless authorized through CPT or OPT, which must be directly tied to the student's field of study. M-1 students cannot work during their studies, while J-1 work authorization depends on program sponsors. Working without proper authorization risks visa revocation.
