在美国工作nited States
As an F-1 student, your primary purpose in the United States is to be a full-time student. 然而, we understand that volunteer work, 实习, and paid work may play a key role in your time here. There are very specific rules and regulations surrounding employment for anyone holding a visa in the United States. It is very important to follow those rules and to ask questions when you don’t understand a situation.
Unauthorized work will result in the immediate termination of your visa.
志愿服务 & 无薪实习
志愿服务 in set volunteer roles is allowable as an F-1 student. We encourage international students to connect with the Jandon Center for 社区 Engagement to identify great volunteer opportunities in the Pioneer Valley.
志愿服务 in a position that would normally be paid, however, is problematic. This can be a violation of Department of Labor laws, since you should be paid for the hours you work in a job. Be wary of jobs that are normally paid but have made an exception because you are an international student.
Unpaid 实习 can be tricky, too. The ISSO strongly recommends CPT for all 实习, 无论支付多少, since CPT is really intended for any "practical training" experience, 不仅仅是为了挣钱. This is also true for any internship supported by Praxis funding. If there is any compensation by the employer, financial or in-kind, CPT is absolutely required. Make sure to ask questions about any “stipends,”“补偿,” or other types of compensation you might receive, and talk with the ISSO ahead of time to make sure you have the right authorization.
For all unpaid 实习 in Massachusetts, certain criteria must be met. To learn more about these requirements, visite the Massachusetts Attorney General’s website 关于志愿者和实习生. The United States Department of Labor website also lists similar national standards for unpaid 实习.
