hi
I am currently in F2 status and it's really hard to get job. So ,please any one can suggest that if F2 people can work in cheque or not as F1 student are working by using SSN. If any one has idea about that, please suggest.

Lonelyguy, Sorry to hear that you are finding it difficult to find a job. That is true for a large majority including the locals and immigrants- both and I am sure you already know the rules for F1 & F2 visa holders regarding employment. If not, keep in mind that F1 & F2 visa holders by no means are eligible to work with the exception that F1 visa holders, if pusuing a full time course load can work 20 hrs. on campus/week. With regard to F2 visa holders, you are not eligible to work @ all unless F1 and F2 visa holders have received a work permit which is given under certain cases (hardships ets.) by the Homeland department. Now, to answer your queries  and from my perspective -it is entirely upto you if you are willing to venture/risk by working on a cheque or using your SSN. I have seen most F1 students work despite the risks involved. I don't think anyone will have a yes/no answer to your question. Anyway, good luck in your job hunt.

thanks for your suggestion.
