More than 40 hrs on OPT

[arehman]

Hi,

Can someone please tell me whether F-1 students are eligible to work more than 40hrs on OPT.

Also, INS states that Intl. Students cannot work more than 20 hrs on Campus in a regular semester. So does it mean that one can work 20-30 hrs on CPT and work 10 hrs on campus in regular semesters.

Thanks in advance to all....

you can work full-time on your CPT and OPT. Employment for over 40 hours a week may also be considered Full-time.
