【求助！！】暑期实习给的是independent contractor

大家好，最近刚刚拿到一个summer intern offer，但是offer letter上写的是independent contractor而不是正常的employee，想问一下大家这个对我申请CPT有影响吗？

而且我个人也不太懂independent contractor和employee的区别，网上查了一下应该就是交tax的时候有些不同？作为contractor实习和作为employee实习对之后找全职有影响吗？会不会之后找全职时公司HR看你的实习经历是作为contractor的会有不好影响？我有没有必要和暑期实习的公司交流一下看能不能改成employee？公司会帮助我改成employee吗？

真的谢谢大家了！给你们加米！！

楼主，这应该可以工作的。

To be eligible for CPT employment:
You must have been enrolled in school full-time for one year on valid F-1 status (except for graduate students where the program requires immediate CPT)
The CPT employment must be an integral part of your degree program or requirement for a course for which you receive academic credit
You must have received a job offer that qualifies before you submit your CPT authorization request
Your job offer must be in your major or field of study
Your International Student Office must authorize you for CPT. Once you receive CPT authorization, you can only work for the specific employer and for the specific dates authorized (unlike with OPT or severe economic hardship off-campus employment, where you can work anywhere in the US). Your CPT authorization will also specify whether you are approved for part-time (20 hours per week or less) or full-time (more than 20 hours per week) CPT employment. While in school, you can only be approved for part-time CPT.

总结就是，cpt没有限制，可fulltime可parttime，只要学校同意就好。

USCIS/DOL/IRS对employee的定义不一样。在USCIS那边看来，可以粗略的理解是：只要从雇主那里拿钱就是employee。

我后面去学校的ISSO问过了，他们说可以的，谢谢大家的回复！
