Can I Work?

Question

Hey Y'all...

Im Considering Studying At Orange Coast CollegeNext Year To Gain My Undergraduate Degree, However, I Was Wondering, As A Prospective International Student, Would I Be Eligible To Apply For A Part Time Job To Help Fund My Education/Room & Board Costs, Etc, Whilst I'm Over In The US...

Thanks For The Help :)

Answer 1

You need to get a work visa.  To get that, you need a sponsor that will vouch for you to the government.  I think there are exceptions, like work-study programs at the university.  You need to ask them.  You can get one while in the US.

Answer 2

As an international student you are only permitted to 20 hours per week and this employment must be carried out on-campus.

No off-campus employment is permitted for international students so working in a bar, restaruant or any such place is a no, no.

Contact the appropiate department at your college for a list of on-campus employment.
