Yes, after completing your master's in the USA, you can work there to help repay your education loan.

International students on an F-1 visa are typically eligible for Optional Practical Training (OPT), which allows you to work in your field of study for up to 12 months after graduation. If your degree is in a STEM field (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), you may qualify for a 24-month STEM OPT extension, giving you up to 36 months of work authorization.

These work opportunities can help you gain experience and earn income to repay your loan. Employment and visa policies are subject to change.
