Can students work on or off campus?
For International students on F-1 student visa the laws regarding work are very strict. By law, students in the U.S. on an F-1 visa are only legally permitted to work on campus for a limited number of hours per week during the semester. It is illegal for an F-1 student to work off-campus. In specific circumstance for Curricular Practical Training ( CPT) off campus employment necessary for your program of study can be considered with your immigration advisor.
In regards to on-campus jobs for students, there are a VERY limited number of positions that an international student is eligible to be able to work in. These positions are also highly competitive and you would not be able to apply until after you arrived at Wilkes. The amount paid to these positions is NOT enough to contribute to your tuition cost or housing. The pay that comes from these positions would only be enough to assist with the cost of books, maybe insurance or snacks.
What is the SEVIS Fee Payment?
The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requires people who want F-1 or J-1 visas to pay a one-time SEVIS Fee before applying for a visa. The SEVIS Fee for F-1 visas is $200. The SEVIS fee for J-1 visas is $180. This is in addition to the normal visa processing fee of US$160. The SEVIS fee helps to pay for SEVIS (Student and Exchange Information System) that U.S. schools use to issue I-20 forms.
