Thank you for contacting us and appreciating our website. If you are coming on F Visa you can not obtain a work permit. Work Permit is for H or L visa holders. I have mentioned complete details in the post that you will not be able to work for more than 20 hour a week and that 20 hours will be on campus only (like in any campus lab, cafe or library etc) you will not be able to work outside like in Macdonalds, Wal-mart or any other place which is not affiliated with campus.
Only in summers you can do internship or work for full 40 hours per week outside university. There are however some exceptions, please follow the below mentioned link for complete information
Additional Info:
The OPT (optional Practical Training) starts after completion of education which can last for 29 months and during that period you will need to look for a job that can provide you H visa to work afterward.

Q: i got multipul entry usa visit visa ,
now i am thinking to move use therefore, i am seeking you advice regarding this move .
my question is that can i work there by having this visa?
how i can settle my self there in USA?
i am mechanical engineer by profession , can i get job there??
Thank you for contacting our website. On Visit Visa (b1/b2) one can not work. Engineering is in demand so there is a possibility that you might be able to get job in USA. You will need to look for all the available opportunities and apply for it, the companies provide H visa if they will hire you however some companies resist when they know that they will need to file your paperwork as its time consuming as well as costly for them so they give preference to those who are already eligible to work in USA.
Mostly Pakistani’s in this situation do is to look for the recruiting companies, sign a contract with them and they look for the job on your behalf and meanwhile process your H1 visa for work however when you start working they deduct some amount (In some cases more than half salary) for an year or long (depends upon the contract). The contract has some strict rules but if nothing seems to work they atleast make sure that you stay. I personally cannot refer you to any of such company however you can do some online research.
I’m looking for some most cheapest universities, where I can study and do the rest of arrangements of the fee through any job, can you please guide me in that , I’m really need to have the low fee university where I can do my graduate program – MBA as I have in total 15 years of education and 9 years of working experience, in Dubai and Pakistan
Salam, Its not easy to search for a proposal in United States. People already settled in USA find great difficulty in finding a suitable proposal for their children. You can find the proposals on http://www.singlemuslim.com. Thanks
Was wondering if there was anything legal that one could bring from Pakistan that could be sold for a profit besides ladies shalwar suits if one was visiting the US and who would be the potential buyers i.e Desis or Non-desis?
Faheem, everything is easily available in United States including the salwar suits however the salwar suits are expensive that is why people tend to buy from Pakistan. Thanks

Hello,
i’m an alevels student, who has been accepted to nyu, boston, ucla and ohio state university. I’ll be double majoring in computer science and accounting. My plan is to appear in the cpa exams after i graduate.
So here’s my question: Can i work in the usa after my cpa? (not on the opt visa, the h-1b visa?) my uncle’s living in newyork for the past 20 years, and owns a medium sized accounting firm. Can i work in his firm? Can he sponsor me for the h-1b visa?
My plan is to go for MBA from a top uni there after some years of experience in accounting.
P.s: my grandparents are usa citizens, and i have 2 more uncles in usa.
Btw, will having so many relatives be a problem for me in convincing the visa guy that i’ll come back? Lol
You are talking about working after graduation right? Yes you can, you need to apply for the OPT and it allows you the time in which you can search for the job that can vary from 24 to 29 months depending upon your field. It really doesn’t matter how many family members you have in United States unless they are your immediate family (Parents, children or siblings).
Your uncle can only sponsor you H1 if his company is eligible of sponsoring such visa, you can google the requirements of the company who can sponsor H1 and then see if his business fits into that criteria.
If you are applying for a study visa and you have valid documents, university invitation, funds to prove that you can pay your fee then there should not be a problem.

You should get a prescription from a doctor on his letterhead, don’t keep the medicine in your hand luggage. If you have to take it during travel make sure its in a bottle of 100ml or less and the bottle is places in a clear bag with all other liquids or creams (all less than 100ml) otherwise they wouldn’t allow you to take it whether you have a prescription or not.
