Hi guys,
I'm an international student on an F1 Visa. I'm currently, of course, enrolled as a full-time student at college in the US.
This type of Visa does not allow an international student to work outside of campus; only through an authorization to take advantage of the OPT or CPT opportunities. Inside of campus, yes, but with authorization and only part-time during classes and full-time during breaks.
Am I allowed to work through Upwork as a freelancer?
I find the descriptions about working in the US a little bit vague, by the Department of Homeland Security, and open to ambiguity.
Thanks and be well.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I think you already have your answer:

What if I work as a freelancer through Upwork on the library of the school?

What if I go to my home country and stay there in the summer?
