Indian students cant start working in US without a EAD authorisation even if they have confirmed job offer; Know the US immigration law

Indian students studying in the USA on an F1 visa need specific authorization to work. This authorization comes from an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) linked to Optional Practical Training (OPT). A confirmed job offer alone is not enough. Students must complete their studies and obtain the EAD before starting any employment.
