Can I do a part-time job during my studies in the US?

Yes, as an international student on an F-1 visa in the US, you can work part-time on campus for up to 20 hours per week during academic terms and full-time during official breaks like summer or winter vacations.

Off-campus work is only allowed with prior authorization through programs like Curricular Practical Training (CPT) or Optional Practical Training (OPT), and must be related to your field of study. Always get approval from your Designated School Official (DSO) before starting any work to maintain your visa status.
