I think so.


In fact, both my LG and I didn't pay Social Security for the first year we worked.

That year we started as F1 then changed to H1. when filling tax, you pick one visa status

for the whole year. So we all picked F1 for the first year and avoid paying SS. I started

my job on Feb. and I saved a lot of tax $$ on SS. My LG started on Sept. and his saving

wasn't as much as mine.
