    what about filing taxes as an f1 student?

      Hi Eri! Good point. That could be a mistake as well, in the sense that failing to file your taxes could affect one's future plans to immigrate to the US. Nonetheless, it's a mistake that could be easily be corrected after the fact.

    Cab a person get in trouble if they work for pay under the table? As in their social security docs and other international student documents aren’t involved

      Yes one can get in trouble doing that, as any type of work done without authorization from your DSO violates your student status.

    quick question: I am on a J1 visa and I was given a job offer letter to work on campus but it was indicated in the letter as 40 hours per week. Per what I read online I cannot work more than 20 hours per week during school sessions but I can work more than 20 hours when school is out of session like long vacations. Any advice on this and is what I read online valid?

    How can you start a business, like a software company?

      As an international student, you can do that on post-completion OPT.

    While working full-time on F-1 OPT can one take non-degree seeking classes or certificates part-time (say in evening or weekend) with any of the professional education schools (Stanford Centre for Professional Education), continuing education schools, extension schools (UCSC Extension) etc. ?

      Yes you can, but with some caution. I've made a video on this topic here: th-cam.com/video/s_nkJJSGlyQ/w-d-xo.html
