The general categories of F1 visa aliens that may apply for an EAD include:

F-1 student seeking Optional Practical Training (OPT) in an occupation directly related to her studies. After having been enrolled full-time in an approved school for at least nine months, alien students are eligible to apply for an EAD.

F-1 students offered off-campus employment under the sponsorship of a qualifying international organization.

F-1 student seeking off-campus employment due to severe economic hardship. Alien applicants must submit any evidence, such as affidavits, which detail the unforeseen economic circumstances that caused the request, as well as evidence that the applicants have tried to find off-campus employment with an employer who has filed a labor and wage attestation.
