Guys, the bottom line is, if you do not get caught, you’re not guilty. That does not mean it is ok to work without work permit, SSN stating ‘Not Valid to Work’ or 40 hrs during the regular school semester. But since we do not have too many choices, we are usually forced to take that risk. Based on my personal experience and observations, I have not seen any Nepalese student being deported or chased by the law for working without authorization. However, I have read several cases where this may cause an issue during the green card process. USCIS sometimes ask for the proof of work authorization during the time you worked as a student. I guess, just make your own judgment while dealing with these kind of scenarios. Do what you gotta do, but don’t let this issue to make an impact on your future. Good luck!!
