Hello MENA,

I need help finding a answer, a friend of mine from Libya is entering the USA Houston, TX. in April on a student visa, he will be here 1 year to study, can he apply for a Social Security card so he can work a part time job here legally?

Truly happy!!!

New life, new adventures, and a new attitude.

Limited hours on campus, if available.

He would have had to show he had the funds for his year to have received the visa.

I copied this from my school website. This is from the international student questions and answers.

Q. Can I work while I attend school?

A. Yes, students may work on campus up to 20 hours a week. However, campus employment is difficult to find. Permission to work off campus must be granted by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and is given in only specific situations.

Waiting.....Waiting....waiting....waiting....and more waiting..........

Usually, international student not allowed to legally work. There are exceptions to this, usually tied into 'having tuition fees waived in return for research hours on campus on approved project'.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

He can work limited hours on campus.

He can not work otherwise.

Quite simple.

20 hours during the semester.

40 hours in the summer.

This employment HAS to be on campus. In my four years at college, I worked in the dining hall, in the History department as a student assistant, in the library and held several internship projects with department professors.

If he's caught working illegally off campus, his visa will be revoked.
