DSOs should stay in touch with F-1 students and emphasize the need to carefully follow the guidelines for off-campus employment. F-1 students authorized for on-campus employment may exceed 20 hours of work per week during breaks and annual vacation as well. If denying an application for employment authorization for off-campus employment, USCIS will send the F-1 student a denial letter giving the reason(s) for the denial.
\nActive F-1 students may apply for on-campus employment up to 30 days before the start of classes. On-campus employment is work that F-1 students whose status is Active in SEVIS may apply for. If the job continues to be available, the student must apply for continued employment authorization six or more months before the authorization expires.<\/p>\n

A DSO should make sure the student reads the form carefully and follows the directions. However, the employment must be for an employer educationally affiliated with your school. Off-campus work authorization requires case-by-case approval from USCIS. Generally, it is employment that is for economic need and does not necessarily have to relate to the student’s academic course of study.<\/p>\n
