How to Hire an F-1 International Student for Post-graduation Employment

Hiring F-1 on OPT

The following types of work are considered employment:

  • Paid employment in the field of study
  • Unpaid/volunteer work in the field of study
  • Contract Hire (keep a list of the 1099's and the duration of employment)
  • Self-employed (with the proper business licenses)
  • Multiple jobs (as long as all jobs are in the field of study)

Challenge the conventional. Create the exceptional. No Limits.
