As an F-1 or J-1 International Student, if you choose to work more than a total of 20 hours/week, you will be out-of-status, leading to serious immigration issues including having your SEVIS record terminated. This is considered unauthorized employment making you ineligible for reinstatement.

You need to keep your Passport valid at all times. An expired passport terminates your campus employment.
You need to request a
