Investment Brokering on an F-1 OPT?
<p>I am F-1 US Visa-holding student with an anticipated OPT authorization that is good May 9th through August 15th.</p>

<p>I have an opportunity to broker an investment in a manufacturing company registered in Nevada, USA. Am I eligible to claim brokerage on such an effort?  Or does my F-1 visa prevent me from collecting such compensation?</p>

<p>It depends. OPT work should be related to your field of study and the school/USCIS should be notified. Ask your school's DSO for more info. They should have informed you about these rules during orientation.</p>

<p>Also note that some broker work requires a specific brokers license.</p>
