You will need approximately $10,000 to $55,000 annually to cover your tuition fees.

Student Applicant:

• Students must be over 18 years of age
• International students can work on-campus up to 20 hours/week or less during the academic terms and full-time during the academic break periods including the summertime

And also, you must be currently in legal status and have been enrolled as an F-1 student in the US for a minimum of one academic year to be eligible for any form of off-campus employment

Per U.S. government regulations, only married spouses can obtain a dependent visa status. The student, scholar or employee can add a dependent spouse to his or her record, and the spouse can then obtain a dependent visa status (F-2, J-2 or H-4). These dependent statuses do have certain restrictions.
