Can H-1B visa holders study in the U.S.?

The H-1B visa holders can study in the USA if they abide by the employment conditions mentioned in the H-1B visa petition. The visa holders can register themselves in a degree or a non-degree, full-time or part-time courses.

 

However, an H-1B visa holder can study full-time by working part-time if the employer applies to the USCIS for a change in employment status from full-time to part-time. If the employee wishes to work full-time and wants to study, then they cannot enroll in academic courses that are offered by American colleges and universities as the requirements vary.

 

Some companies offer their employees off-time (for up to a year) to study under the H-1B visa while maintaining their employment status, and some companies pay the tuition fee.
