at least six months into the future

 OPT I-20 (valid signature on page 3)
 OPT EAD
 Proof of employment or evidence of
an active employment search
Homeland Security has indicated that a student
may leave the U.S. while OPT is pending, but if
the OPT is approved the student will need the
EAD and proof of employment to re-enter.
The ISSS recommends that students do not leave
the U.S. while an OPT extension application is
pending.
 H-1B visa – work visa for skilled workers
 There is often a gap of time between
the OPT end date and the H-1B start
date (corporate H-1B visas begin on
Oct. 1 and most students graduate in
May or Dec.)
 USCIS provides a temporary
extension of F-1 status & work
authorization while the H-1B petition is
being processed
 This benefit is offered only from
Apr. 1 to Oct. 1 & only in
conjunction with a corporate H-1B
petition that is pending or
approved with an Oct. 1 start
date. The extension begins the
day after the OPT EAD end date
and ends on Oct. 1
 You can obtain a new I-20 that
indicates this extension and
remain F-1 until the H-1B start date
 If your H-1B petition is denied or
withdrawn and your OPT has
ended, your status ends 60 days
from the date posted on your
denial/withdrawal
 H-1Bs with nonprofit organizations
do not follow these deadlines
 F-1 students suffering a severe
economic hardship due to
unforeseen changes in their
financial circumstances
 Eligibility:
› Be in F-1 status for 1 academic year
› Be in good academic standing
› On campus opportunities are
unavailable or insufficient to meet your
needs
› Ex: loss of financial support or
employment, medical bills, etc.

fee due to extreme economic
hardship)

adviser’s recommendation for
economic hardship employment

situation & supporting evidence
› Copies of passport/visa pages
› Copies of previous EAD pages (if
applicable)
 You may work for a qualified
international organization, as
defined by the International
Organization Immunities Act of
Dec. 29, 1945
 If you have an offer from an
employer on the List of
International Organizations you
may apply to the United States
Citizenship and Immigration
Services (USCIS)for an EAD
 Application: similar to the
employment based on severe
economic hardship’s application
process
 Relieves students coming from
countries suffering from
temporary economic/ civil unrest
 2012 – 2015: special student relief
(SSR) benefits to F-1 students from
Syria who are “experiencing
severe economic hardship as a
direct result of civil unrest”
 Eligibility criteria
 On-campus benefits
 Off-campus benefits
Ask ISSS Advisor before pursuing
off-campus employment
- Regulations often change &
info from friends/ family may
not be accurate
- Homeland Security is
increasingly strict about
employment violations. There
can be severe penalties for
working without proper
permission, including
exclusion from the US for up
to 10 years
