Looking for jobs with a non-US Bachelors degree whilst studying on F-1 Visa

USA H1B Visa
1

Hi all,

I am in US on a B2 visa and i intend to change my status to F-1 and pursue an associate degree in IT (Software Development). I already have a Bachelors in Engineering and i have plans to also search for engineering opportunities and apply for jobs whilst studying for an associate degree in IT.

  1. Am i allowed to look for a job using my Bachelors degree obtained outside US whilst enrolled in a US college for an associate degree? OR must i complete my college program before i could look for job?

  2. If i am allowed to look for job with my non-US Bachelors degree and i have employers that are willing to offer me a job, would they be able to file for H1B visa for me considering the fact that i wouldn’t have completed the college degree that i would be pursuing in US on an F-1 visa?

  3. If I am able to secure a job, would it be possible to switch from being a full-time student to a part-time student or studying online if such options are available on the program?

Please i need your advice/thoughts.

Many thanks

  1. If the school issues you CPT or pre-completion OPT, then you can work on that while enlisted in school. However, you should adhere to CPT guidelines while working.

  2. They can apply H-1 for you even when you haven’t completed your graduation on F-1. You will have to apply in non-advanced degree quota as don’t have any Masters degree from US.

  3. When you move to H-1 visa status, you can continue studying part-time as long as you are able to satisfy H-1 commitments and school allows part time studies.
