Carthage32 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Hi everyone, Just wondering if, legally, F1 status students are allowed to donate to political campaigns. I know for sure that we are allowed to volunteer for a campaign. But, I'm getting some contradictory info about donating money. Some people think you can only donate if you have permanent residence status (i.e. green card), while others think that F1 students are allowed to donate.... Any thoughts?

kabelo Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) It's an interesting issue and was recently (unsuccessfully) challenged by two noncitizens. http://classroom.wsj.com/cre/2012/01/29/do-foreigners-deserve-free-speech-rights-4/ Edited April 11, 2013 by kabelo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
