I am an intern. I can work for 40 hours per week. I asked my manager to work for 10hours for 4 days rather than 8hours for 5 days. In my paycheck I received overtime pay for the hours that are above 8 hours per day. Will it create a problem to my f1 visa status? I am following the visa rules and not working more than 40hours per week. Any information on this issue ?
And your manager is okay with paying you overtime?
Don't worry. It won't affect your visa status at all. You are a lucky that you have a great very nice manager who doesn't mind to pay overtime. Get the FTE under that manager and your future will be good. No politics at all:)
Thanks for the info. Yeah my manager is the best manager of all the managers I have ever worked under. I really like to work fulltime under him.
Good luck with that 👍
Unfortunately your manager won't be a manager for very long since he's allowing OT to be paid out for no gain to the company. Basically this amounts to poor business sense. Nice guy, but his managers will be asking there is OT for no reason
Ohhh that’s a good thing. I don’t want my manager get blamed because of me. I will talk to him about this issue in detail again. My main concern about my visa status and will it have any effect on my visa status.
are you utilizing your fifth day for interviews lol?
Nope. I have my semester course work.
Gone through the same thing. Worried as hell. Nothing happened. I think you are fine as long as your school doesn’t have a problem with it.
Wtf ask your manager
Not some rando anonymous microsoft employees. Not even trying to be rude here you should really bring up your concerns with your manager just to be safe
Oh oops just realized you’re not a microsoftie. Advice still stands tho
