In my personal opinion - No it will not. Students will still be showing the financial resources, for the study. The positive factor will be that the US Embassy WILL consider the fact that the students, can work legally in the US and that they can support their studies partially through the jobs. The student relief program SRP allows 20 hours of work during semesters and 40 hours of work in break, in the field of your study, NOT ON-CAMPUS. The other benefit will be that in future, students can apply for social security as soon as they are here under the SRP and start work from the first day. This work periods DOES NOT get deducted from the OPT or CPT but has to be renewed by the International Student Advisor of the school where the student is. The most beneficial thing is that, the work will be LEGAL compared to ILLEGAL work/jobs. Students can compete in the job market freely and hold positions according to their calibre in thier field.
