This is to certify that the above-referenced student is eligible to be employed on campus.
LIMITATION ON EMPLOYMENT: Employment must not exceed 20 hours per week while school is in session. If this student is employed elsewhere on campus or is employed off campus with proper authorization, that work must also be counted toward the 20-hour limit. Full-time employment is permissible between school terms and during holidays and vacations, including summer vacations.
EMPLOYMENT ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION: If you employ this student, the student will be required to complete a form entitled "Employment Eligibility Verification" (INS Form I-9), which the employer retains.
SOCIAL SECURITY AND OTHER TAXES: In general, F-1 students who have been in the U.S. less than five years are exempt from Social Security (F.I.C.A.) taxes. However, student earnings are subject to applicable federal, state, and local taxes. Students must file a tax return on or before April 15 each year, which will determine if any of the withheld taxes can be refunded.
MAINTENANCE OF LAWFUL STATUS: In order to preserve on-campus employment eligibility, F-1 students must maintain their lawful status. Among other requirements, this means that they must (1) enroll for a full course of study during the academic year, (2) maintain their eligibility to enroll, (3) limit all employment to 20 hours per week while school is in session, and (4) refrain from off-campus employment without authorization.
If you have any questions regarding this student's eligibility to be employed, please contact this office.
