H-4 EAD or otherwise & Remote Work for Indian Company: Legality and Considerations

7 months ago By Chief Editor

Question details

I have H-4 EAD. However, I have not yet found a relevant IT job. Can I take up a remote job offer from one of the Indian payroll companies? Is it allowed legally?

FAQ Transcript

Yes, you can work for a company based in India while on an H-4 visa, especially if you have an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). Working remotely for a foreign company from within the United States is legally permissible. However, it's essential to consider tax implications. You may be required to pay taxes in the USA, so it's advisable to consult with a tax professional or accountant to understand your tax obligations accurately.

OPT EAD errors and typos: Eligibility for resubmission or renewal strategy?

9 months ago By Chief Editor

Question details

I graduated in May 2023. I'm currently working with an NGO and looking for a job. USCIS sent me my EAD with the wrong photo (typographical error) in August '23. I sent it back with the correct photo, and they sent me another EAD with the wrong photo in January '24. I also made a case to the Ombudsman, but they weren't able to assist me. Can I apply for a new EAD? (I've passed the 60 days after graduation period)
or should I use the EAD that's already there with me (with the wrong photo)?
or I can wait until EAD renewal and get EAD again How should I approach this situation?

FAQ Transcript

You can continue working legally despite the EAD photo error.
Apply for a replacement EAD with a fee waiver due to the government error.
Explore the "receipt rule" for potential work authorization while waiting.
Contact USCIS to explain the situation and request expedited processing.
Remember, this isn't legal advice, and consulting an immigration attorney is crucial for the most suitable course of action.
