Most of them are even on F1 visa working on someone else account. I know because many of indian students do that in NY and I used to ask them when I give tips.

- alephnerd 2y agoYep! And that's technically a violation of their F1 requirements. 1099 work is not allowed for F1 holders.
- cute_boi 2y agoAgreed, it’s not allowed and is gross violation of F1 requirement. Thats the reason they purchase account and give like 30% of income to person who sells doordash account. Many of them work at gas stations and motels, which is kinda sad. TBH, they don’t have many options because I’m sure most can’t afford tuition fees. I wish the U.S. government would let them work 20 hours outside of university jobs, since most universities can’t provide enough work for them. The government should also ensure students have enough funds to study in the U.S.—for example, by checking their bank balance for the entire year, not just one day.

They need to work for an employer who will file a CPT in conjunction with the university with USCIS. 1099 employment isn't meant for that.
