—— Distance Learning The purpose of the F-1 visa is to give nonimmigrant students the opportunity to study in the United States, specifically in the classroom. The DSO may approve one online course; however, it must be in conjunction with at least one lecture class. No more than one online course per term is allowed. The only exception to this rule is if you are on your holiday term and wish to enroll in one online class. This must be approved by the DSO, as well as be completed prior to enrolling in the next term at the campus.
—— Income Tax
All international students, whether employed or not, must complete IRS form 8843 every year by the filing deadline of April 15. Employed students must submit both the IRS form 8843 and form 1040NREZ.
