Hi Peter, thanks for doing this!

If a recent college grad is on OPT, and lets say they majored in actuarial science (STEM), are they allowed to make money selling crafts and art that aren't related to the major? I know there's a clause for jobs unrelated to your major, but I wasn't sure if this applied to selling art or having art showings. How does this work?

Thanks!



Unfortunately, that would be viewed as work and since it's outside your friend's field of study, it would not be allowed.


Do similar restrictions apply once H1B is granted?


Yes.
