F-1暑期实习CPT可以做independent contractor吗

最近收到一个小公司offer letter，里面说明我是independent contractor（而不是传统意义上的employee），并且告知我需要年底用1099报税而不是W-2

想问问这种情况是否违反了F-1 CPT，是否会影响未来可能的H1B等。有没有类似经历的朋友能够分享一下呀..

因为担心cpt不能做independent contractor，去问了下公司，公司那边说是可以的；我又问了学校isss，学校说只要cpt批准就行不管报税的事情。但在网上搜索看到很多学校的isss都明确表示F-1 cpt不能做independent contractor，因为这个代表可以独立完成工作所以不满足cpt的要求？并且报税也是用的1099而不是W-2

现在该怎么选择，好慌

还没有开始签字和办cpt，在想要不要直接问公司能否换成W-2（感觉可能性不大？）或者直接放弃这个offer..

dhs是这么解释的
Curricular practical training (CPT) is an alternative work/study, internship, cooperative education or other type of required practicum that a sponsoring employer offers through cooperative agreements with your college or university. CPT is only available for F-1 students when it is part of an established curriculum within a school. CPT must be integral to your program of study; however, unlike pre-completion OPT, CPT can be full time and is not restricted by a weekly 20-hour work limit.

In order to qualify for CPT, you must be an F-1 student and have completed one full academic year of study at an SEVP-certified school, unless you are a graduate student whose program requires immediate CPT. Students who complete one year or more of full-time CPT are ineligible to participate in post-completion OPT. To get permission for CPT, your DSO needs to authorize it in SEVIS and provide you with an updated Form I-20 indicating your authorization for the training opportunity.

If you are interested in participating in CPT, you must first talk to your DSO to ensure you understand your school’s specific policy. Your DSO is the best person to work with to ensure that you follow both federal regulations and school policy.

所以如果你们学校dso说independent contractor也可以的话 应该就可以

税表是报税用的，和移民身份关系不太大。有的工作现金没有税表，但没有税表不代表没打黑工哈。
只要cpt能批下来，说明学校对你的offer认可，你按cpt上的雇主和时间工作就可以了，工作内容要和自己所学专业相关。

想请问楼主后来有没有更多的了解...... 遇到了相同问题，学校advisor也说这是tax status和immigration status无关，但也讲了没有明确的规定说cpt能不能做contractor

我现在遇到了跟你一样的问题，用CPT在一家小公司做了实习他们不愿意给W2，给1099，但是我看CPT要求的employer-specific，不知道用1099报税会不会影响后面的身份问题。求一个后续，急，非常感谢！！
