Hi all, I will travel to US*mid Spet 2012) for a vocaltional course, using M1 visa.
But the M1 visa does not allow the student to work unless the job is related to the vocation course.
Are there any way in which I can work (partime) in the US whilst attending the course?
I hold a British Passport (not BNO) and a HK Passport.
Can I get a green card to work in the US? if yes, what is the best method?
Or are there any other methods? eg. apply for a academic course?
Thank you so much, please help me out.

1. Unless your school hires you, no.2. Absolutely not in your case.
3. In your case - the only possible solution is getting married with a citizen.
P.S. The passport does not matter int this case.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-1_visa
The M-1 visa is a type of student visa reserved for vocational and technical schools. To obtain an M-1 visa for traveling to the United States, a student must present a signed Form I-20 at a United States embassy or consulate in his home country. The I-20 is issued by a designated school official, typically the international student adviser, after the student has fulfilled a school's admissions requirements and presented proof of financial resources.
M-1 students are admitted into the United States for a fixed time period. When they cross the border, their I-94 departure cards are stamped with a date, unlike students with an F-1 visa. They may stay for the length of their training program plus any Optional Practical Training, plus a thirty-day grace period at the end of their training. Their stay may not exceed one year unless they are granted an extension for medical reasons. If a student violates his status by, for example, not maintaining a full course of study, he is not eligible for the grace period.
Students in M-1 status may not work on or off campus while studying, and they may not change their status to F-1.
Optional Practical Training
M-1 students are eligible for a relatively short amount of Optional Practical Training: one month for every four months of study (as laid out in Title 8, Code of Federal Regulations). While an F-1 student can simply file an I-765 Application for Employment Authorization, an M-1 student must also file an I-539 to extend status. The applications are adjudicated at various USCIS service centers around the country, which sometimes have varying interpretations of the regulations.
