Yes, anyone on a student visa can get an SSN if he or she finds on-campus employment. Contact your international admissions / student services (IA/ISS) office to obtain a letter saying you're authorized to work on campus. For this you usually have to maintain a minimum number of enrolled units or credits (usually 9-12). Then, contact your on-campus employer and give them the letter.

Your IA/ISS can also provide you with a Social Security Number Letter saying that you have accepted legal employment on campus. Take this letter along with your passport/visa and I-20 to the SSN office and apply.

The SSN is used primarily for tax purposes and also as your credit identification. It used to be that you could get an SSN if you planned to apply for a driver's license (since the DMV requires an SSN). But, since SEVIS, it's become a lot stricter. The BCIS is not going to allow you to get an SSN just so you can get a driver's license. You need to get employed... legally.

Is there any expiration date on the social security number which was granted to the F1 visa student who worked on campus?

Social security numbers do not expire. They belong to the person who receive them for life. If the person legally returns to the United States, they would pick right back up using the same social security number.

What is a difference between f1 visa and student visa?

The terms "F1 visa" and "student visa" are often used interchangeably, but there are some differences between them. Let's break it down: F1 Visa: An F1 visa is a non-immigrant visa that allows foreign nationals to study in the United States at accredited colleges, universities, seminaries, conservatories, academic high schools, language training programs, or other academic institutions. It is specifically for academic purposes and is granted to individuals who intend to pursue a full course of study in the U.S. The F1 visa is typically issued for the duration of the student's academic program, plus an additional period for practical training (such as Optional Practical Training or OPT) in the student's field of study. Student Visa: Student visa" is a broader term that encompasses various types of visas issued by different countries for the purpose of studying abroad. While the F1 visa is a type of student visa specifically for studying in the U.S., other countries may have different types of student visas with their own requirements and regulations. For example, in Canada, international students typically obtain a study permit to pursue their education. In summary, the F1 visa is a specific type of student visa for studying in the United States, while "student visa" can refer to visas for studying in any country, each with its own set of rules and requirements.
