Can I work while on an F-1 or M-1 visa?

A:
1. F-1 Visa: You are allowed to work on-campus for up to 20 hours per week during the academic year and full-time during breaks. Programs like Optional Practical Training (OPT) and Curricular Practical Training (CPT) limit off-campus employment and require approval.

2. M-1 Visa: Work options are more limited, and M-1 students can only engage in practical training after completing their studies.
