The Department of State issued you an F-1 visa so that you can come to the United States to study. It is a non-immigrant visa that allows you to pursue education with the intent of returning to your home country after your studies. The Immigration and Nationality Act provides that F-1 students must be coming to the United States solely to pursue a full-course of academic, 语言, 或其他非职业学习.

You should not take any action that detracts from that purpose.

Maintaining your F-1 student status is an important aspect of your stay in the 美国. Students who fail to maintain their status can be deported from the country or barred from re-entering the 美国 in the future. 除了, maintaining your status grants you certain benefits, such as the ability to apply for a driving license.
