I am talking about using a student visa to get in and then stay and work permanently and not study. In other words, using the visa fraudulently. If you want to stay and work go through the proper legal process and get a resident visa.

Again, legal immigration.

Overstaying on an F1 visa is quite hard because the school is required to report all changes in academic status through the SEVIS database.

If you want to stay and work go through the proper legal process and get a resident visa.

F1 students are allowed to work 20 hours a week when the school is in session and 40 hours a week during the summer.
