I have an F1 visa, and I am unable to pay my rent. I left the apartment without notifying my landlord. Will this affect my F1 visa status?

Leaving your apartment without paying rent or notifying your landlord typically does not directly affect your F1 visa status, as visa status is based on your academic standing and compliance with U.S. immigration laws, not private rental agreements.However, failing to pay rent could lead to legal consequences, such as a lawsuit from your landlord or a negative mark on your credit history

Can I start working after my OPT work authorization approval but before I receive the EAD Card?

No, you cannot start working until you receive your Employment Authorization Document (EAD) card. Even if you have received a notice of approval for your Optional Practical Training (OPT), you must wait until you physically receive the EAD card before beginning employment. Working without the EAD card is considered unauthorized employment.

It contains a unique Social Security Number (SSN) that you keep for life.  You will need the number for many purposes in the U.S. including employment and paying taxes. However, a Social Security card is not a work permit.
