Can one produce music while a student with an F-1 (student) visa?
I have a question regarding F-1 student visas. Can a person with an F-1 visa produce music and upload it online for profit?
As a general rule, F-1 visa holders are not allowed to engage in off-campus employment without prior authorization from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). However, there are certain exceptions to this rule, including Optional Practical Training (OPT) and Curricular Practical Training (CPT). Whether or not producing music and selling it online qualifies as one of these exceptions will depend on a number of factors, such as the nature of the music production and the terms of the student's visa.
