International Student Employment Pathways-Interstride

This is a graph that shows the different ways that international students on F1 visas can seek temporary employment in the United States as well as pathways to residency.

Note that we are not making any legal advice. Students should check with the International Student and Scholar Services or speak with an immigration lawyer regarding these different pathways to employment. Interstride provides many useful webinars (live and on demand) on immigration and working in the US (including CPT, OPT, H1B, and O-1 visas). You can also check the Resources they offer on career readiness and immigration.
