EMPLOYMENT FOR F-2 DEPENDENTS
Immigration regulations prohibits employment for F-2 dependents (spouses and children of F-1 students). So, F-2 dependents are not allowed to have employment.

EMPLOYMENT ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION:
When you begin work, you and your employer must complete a form entitled "Employment Eligibility Verification" (INS FORM I-9), which the employer retains. The I-9 must be updated each time you receive a renewal of your work permission.

SOCIAL SECURITY AND OTHER TAXES:
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, your earnings are subject to 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.

Special Social Security exempt and IRS tax forms for F-1 students can be obtained from the Social Security Administration and IRS.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH EMPLOYMENT REGULATIONS
It is your responsibility to comply with all immigration regulations which apply to F-1 students. The Office of International Student Services has the responsibility for advising and counseling you regarding your responsibilities. If you fail to comply with your responsibilities, you may not be eligible for benefits normally granted to F-1 students.
