U.S. Immigration Laws and Regulations to Know: 

• You are responsible for maintaining valid F-1 status while in the United States.
• You must always maintain a valid passport. It is your responsibility to renew your passport at least six months before it expires.
• You are required to report changes to your name or address to the Office of International Education (OIE) within 10 days of the change.
• If you are unable to complete your program of study by the date listed on your I-20, you must request an I-20 extension from OIE before your I-20 expiration date.
• You are not allowed to work off campus in the United States without authorization. F-1 students are allowed to work on campus up to 20 hours per week when school is in session and 40 hours per week during semester breaks. F-1 students may only work at the school that maintains their current SEVIS record. 

F-1 regulations allow students to work part time (up to 20 hours) during the academic term at approved on-campus jobs, and more than 20 hours during holidays, vacations and university breaks. Teaching assistants and research assistants should obtain permission from the Graduate School for work that is in addition to their assistantship. Students must be sure they do not work more than 20 hours per week at any on-campus job or combination of jobs during the academic semester. Working more than 20 hours per week during the term can result in a loss of F-1 status. You can review on campus information and opportunities in Marquette鈥檚 JobX student employment database.

Social Security numbers are required for F-1 students who will be employed in the United States. This includes if you have a teaching, research or graduate assistantship at Marquette. You will need to apply for a Social Security number AFTER you arrive in the United States. The Social Security Administration can be reached at (800) 772-1213 or ssa.gov.

The Social Security Administration recommends that you wait at least 10 days after you arrive in the United States before applying for a number. This allows time for your arrival data from the port of entry to be entered in the database that is used to authorize the issuance of your card. If approved, your official Social Security card will be sent to you via postal mail within two to eight weeks.
