| In general, students may not engage in employment in the U.S. However, in some instances employment is permissible or can be authorized. Students may engage in periods of pre-graduation practical training or post -graduate practical training, as long as the trainig is in their field of study. Practical training authorization is limited to one year and cannot be extended. However, a foreign student with practical training authorization may apply for a change of status to a nonimmigrant worker classification, such as H-1B, prior to the expiration of practical training authorization. |
