J-1 Employment in the U.S.
|
This page provides an introduction to employment issues and options for international students in J-1 status at Santa Clara University. The most important employment issue to consider is legal (or "authorized") versus illegal (or "unauthorized") employment. Please make sure that any employment you plan to engage in is legal, since illegal employment poses a very serious threat to your ability to remain in or return to the United States. Also, make sure you have the necessary employment authorization before you begin work. Starting work without prior authorization, even if you receive authorization later, constitutes illegal employment. Carefully review the employment policies and procedures or contact the International Student Services Office if you have any questions or doubts. |
