Hi everybody, I am a F1 student. I want to apply for economic hardship so that I can work off-campus legally for a while. I don't have any friends in my University who have applied for this. So they know nothing about this. I am sure that there are some people in Sajha who have applied for this and have information regarding this. Can somebody guide me through the steps. It will be great if someone can help me providing sample of documents so that I can start preparing the documents. It will be a great help for me. Please reply.

The best person to guide you through is your international student advisor. Go talk to him/her first. Sparrow

I have had applied the work permit on economic hardship and got it approved each time that I applied, when I was in the college. It's not that hard. You may need the following:-Letter from your primary sponsor, stating why they are not able to send you the promised amount (reasons might be several: due to an illness in the family due to any incurable disease (need a strong proof from the Govt. office, if so), sudden death of the sponsor (need a strong proof from the Govt. office, if so), loss in business due to political reasons, etc.) -Letter from you admitting the fact that your primary sponsor is no longer in a position to help you, and request for the EAD card to USCIS. -I-20 signed by ur intl. adm. office -Any supporting documents that will strengthen your case. Don't leave a stone unturned, coz remember that u're spending $340 for the application. Either you get it or u lose it, no refunds!! Good Luck! Last edited: 19-Oct-10 06:19 PM
