flynbird:

ok. Just wondering because i told my indian friend about the job applications i put up. And she was suprised cos her international office told her she cant work on-campus because she's a new F-1 student. Shes a grad student just like me too oh.. **confused**

lisadem:

it's actually a simple rule and not in any way vague. Int'l student is allowed to work 20hrs a week at his/her convenience. It could be immediately. (1st semester) or later.

I arrived late in my school and unfortunately, all the on-campus jobs had been taken. So am hoping to get one by Spring term. How's studies?

imperiouxx:

If she's on a GA, all her hours have been covered by the GA, so she can't work elsewhere but if not, you can start IMMEDIATELY.

flynbird:

No she's not on GA oh.. i guess it has to do with her nationality..

shynepapin101: I know the bosses of this very forum to have being helpful, and must have done shared this before. On my behalf and others having their interviews soon, I'll like to be told how and where to get the u.s embassy prep links or advices.

What do you mean by US embassy prep links That's strange... Well, you are already in the right forum. This thread has been helpful to tons of people now studying in the US.

I will advise you bookmark this page on your browser and don't miss out on any page. You can also pick on some people (NLders) already in the US. Browse through their profiles and sure you will be enlightened by their experiences. #MY 2 CENT .

All the best in your interview.

flynbird:
okay.. Probably the international office is getting strict on students from india

wondering why the discrimination. Int'l students are treated equally in my school irrespective of the location. Anyway, you got the correct info now. So all the best

Ricky Rozay:

Right on Point!!! Wow!!! I guess maybe it varies with the kind of airport one arrives @.

Thanks bro.. Will take it along when i'm traveling to the US by December!!!..

flynbird: Wait oh! I dont seem to fully understand this F-1 student 20hrs on-campus work... Is it after the first academic year that we are eligible to work? Or does it apply to just undergrad and not graduate student?

Walspring:

If am not wrong i think some school own maybe instant while another school is after a semester while other school is after 2 semester so it all depend on schools but i strongly advise you to ask ur DSO or international student office.

lisadem:

nomso27: moving train thingz on point, thread eating pages with swag.

i salute the oga at d top justwise for the good job.

greetings! bigfrancis, imperouxx, ricky, walspring, nd everybody. unto part 5 levels.

Babs911: Pls my oga u have not help me out concerning my issue, have not see ur PM

Ricky Rozay:

I think Walspring Might be actually Right!!!

Becos, i read of someone here on NL, in previous pages in Part 4, was saying something like his school didn't allow him work until after 2 semesters or so....

Cant actually remember the page i saw that and the person dt wrote that up, but it is towards the last pages of part 4 or so sha....

Still not convinced because there isn't a concrete proof yet. Well, let's just drop the debate

imperiouxx:

Yea, that's why I said I'm deferring to 2015 (Fall). I've started applying for jobs now towards my 29 months OPT but later will drop it for the PhD (God knows the best). My furthering isn't to instruct but because of my love for Pharmacological research jobs and most of them require a PhD degree, since it's all about making lab your pet

lisadem:

It's still same problem- pm alert on NL but no email in my box. Hmm... What I will suggest is to ask bigfrancis, Amefrica or imperioxx etc for my email if you are connected to any of them.

Sorry I will be violating the rule if I drop my contact here. Thanks for your understanding.

pls boss so what can we do now? Or if you don't mind can I write my own email in coding here so u will deduce it I wana make it b4 my I-20 got expired. This is the second I-20 the school has mailed to me.
