For an F-1 student, what document is essential apart from the F-1 visa to work legally?

  1. I-20AB

  2. CA-5

  3. R-84

  4. CA-1

The correct answer is: I-20AB

The essential document for an F-1 student to work legally in the United States, apart from the F-1 visa, is the Form I-20. This document, officially known as the Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status, is issued by the educational institution that the student is attending. It certifies that the individual has been accepted into a qualifying program of study and that they are eligible to apply for the F-1 visa. The Form I-20 is crucial because it outlines the student's program details, expected start and end dates, and the conditions under which the student can work—either on-campus or, in certain cases, off-campus with approval from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Without the Form I-20, an F-1 student's legal status in the U.S. and their authorization for employment would be compromised, making it impossible to comply with immigration laws while pursuing their education and working.
