My American visa is F 1. How do I apply for a green card when I get to America?

F 1 id can't get a green card. You can apply for a green card after graduation.

You can work in a supermarket or a restaurant.

F 1 Students who want to work must obtain a work permit from the Immigration Bureau or change to a work visa. You can apply for a work permit to the Immigration Bureau on the grounds of course internship or special economic difficulties. Please note that such applications must first be approved by the school's international student adviser.
