As an international student, you are allowed to work in the US after completing your course of study. However, there are regulations that have specific requirements and restrictions. According to U.S. immigration law, international students with F-1 visas are eligible to work full-time for one year after they graduate as part of their "practical training." After your practical training, international students must be sponsored by an employer in order to continue working in the United States. This process involves petitioning the government for an H1-B, obtaining approval from the Labor Department, hiring a lawyer, and absorbing some fees. If you wish to work in the U.S. you must plan ahead.
