These students must, however, be the recipients of either (1) a petition for an immigrant visa or (2) an application for permanent labor certification. After their brief stay, they must still be able to demonstrate their intention to depart the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The USCIS advice also outlines the manner in which F students seeking OPT (optional practical training) in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) may find employment with US startup enterprises. For their startup to hire holders of F student visas, their US employer must meet a few of requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The declaration marks a significant ruling that permits holders of <a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/learn\/study-in-usa-apply-for-f1-visa-in-2024-news-2023-11\/\"><strong>F-1 student visas<\/strong><\/a> to work in the US for fledgling businesses.
