International Students: You Can Legally Work After College!
Filed Under F1 Student Visa, Interesting Immigration Tips
An interesting fact that not many international students studying in the US know is:
It is possible to work for one year after graduation on a legal work permit.
This one-year work permit will allow them to work for anyone without restriction - the purpose of this one-year option is to give students a chance to hone the skills they have learned in college in the US work place.
What can happen is that during this work year they make good contacts with their employers who in turn can sponsor them for either a H-1B or Green card or some other interim visa to keep them.
So just because your college career is at an end, does not mean you have to leave the country right away!
