Introduction
New York University enrolls over 4000 international students who are in the United States as nonimmigrants. These students are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Most of them entered the United States with student visas, allowing them to pursue full-time study, often complemented by employment in their field of study.

In addition to their quality education at New York University, international students often offer multilingual and multicultural skills, making them attractive employees in the global workplace.

This information is designed for you, the prospective employer, to clarify the legal obligations of both the employer and the international student. Hiring an international student is easier than you may expect.

The Office for International Students and Scholars (OISS) at New York University is available to assist you in this process. Should you have questions about the immigration regulations authorizing employment, the OISS staff will be glad to answer them.
