Legal Question in Immigration Law in Indiana

What do I need to work with F1 visa?

I just got accepted to a PhD

program. I was looking into getting

financial assistance by working as a

Teacher's Assistance (TA). Can I

work as a TA? What do I need to

get to be able to work legally as a

TA?

Will my working as a TA affect me if

I later choose to file for permanent

residency?

Dear Inquirer:

You need to make a special request with the designated school official for forein students (DSO) at your school to obtain a work permit for on-campus employment. This may be granted as "curricular practical training" as long as certain conditions are met.
