hallo,
I came to Chicago on F1 visa two months ago, and I am currently taking some english calsses. I am waiting for my MS Diploma from Poland to evaluate. My goal is to get an internship (in market research) When can I get internship? I would like to do it as quickly as possible. Do I have to get MS or at least bachelor's degree in US before applying for internship? can I get paid internship on F1 visa, or unpaid at least?

thank you for help

Agnes
 
you need to have an EAD card (unless you have one now). that is the only way you can work in America (legally of course). my guess is the company giving you the internship needs to know you can legally work there.
