Can one produce music while a student with an F-1 (student) visa?
What about if the music production is done purely as a hobby and not for profit? Is that allowed under an F-1 visa?
Generally speaking, F-1 visa holders are free to engage in activities that fall outside the scope of their studies, as long as they do not cross the line into unauthorized employment. If producing music as a hobby does not involve the exchange of money and does not interfere with the student's studies, it is likely permissible. However, it is always advisable to consult with an immigration attorney or the International Student Office at your school to make sure that any activities you engage in are consistent with your visa status.
