Hiring International Students
International students make up approximately 23 percent of Daniels' students. These students offer valuable experiences and perspectives to companies operating in today's global economy.
Most international students are in the U.S. on nonimmigrant student visas (F-1 and J-1), making them eligible to accept employment under certain conditions.
- F-1 students are eligible to work up to 12 months on optional practical training.
- J-1 students are eligible to work up to 18 months on academic training.
- F-1 and J-1 paperwork is handled by the students, the school and Citizenship and Immigration Services
- Companies can save money by hiring international students because the majority of them are exempt from Social Security (FICA) and Medicare tax requirements.
- Employers can hire international students for a total of six years (two three-year periods) under the H-1B visa category.
