Hi everybody! I am here in the US with F1 visa for 6 months already, finished my program in December and i am going to apply again for a new program for a Fall 2007. I am not going back home to Moscow before being enrolled in a new program. Before that i have almost 9 months and i don't want to spend them like that, sitting here doing nothing so my idea is to work and earn money!!! Before i had 2 J1 visas because i was a participant of Work and Travel program so i have SSN and California ID, and all my docs are ok now. Is there any risk to use my SSN for work and how big is it??? I know i have no right to work legally out of campus with F-1 visa during my first year of studying. Also is there any possibility to get a work permit??? Or the only way is to try to find a job where they will help me to change my status to H1B??? Or another option as to work for cash till i will be enrolled and then to try to find an internship and so on. The hardest thing right now is being here and not making any money. I can't sit on my parents neck. Please give some advice!!! thank you!!!
