Yes, if the DSO issues Curricular Practical Training (CPT) the student can commence employment immediately. If, however, Optical Practical Training (OPT) was recommended, the student cannot commence employment until USCIS issues an EAD (Employment Authorization Document). This request is submitted to the USCIS on Form I-765.
