This episode explain that F-1 student visa holders are strictly prohibited from unauthorized work in the U.S., including independent contractor or "gig economy" jobs like driving for Uber or DoorDash, regardless of whether they receive a W-2 or 1099 tax form. Engaging in unauthorized employment is a deportable offense that can lead to visa termination, bars on future re-entry, and jeopardizes eligibility for benefits like green cards. Legal off-campus employment options for F-1 students are limited to highly regulated programs: Curricular Practical Training (CPT), which is tied to the student's curriculum and a specific employer, and Optional Practical Training (OPT), which allows temporary work directly related to the student's field of study, with self-employment allowed only under the initial 12-month OPT period, but not the STEM extension. Students are urged to seek guidance from their Designated School Official (DSO) or an immigration attorney, as ignorance of the rules is not an excuse and can result in severe, long-term consequences for their immigration status.
