Hi Lana,
You mention that 'You cannot be working in the US while in H-4 status. It does not matter where the company is registered'.
I do not understand why such a clause would exist. Immigration laws for employment tend to have the underlying idea that the alien should not displace a citizen w.r.t. employment opportunity. If the H4-B person works for a company in his home country, I don't see how this effects the US government?
Can you point me to a gov website where they specify this that H4-B visa holders cannot have employment even in their home country? I found Immigration Nationality Act on USCIS website, but I could not locate such a clause (see:
USCIS - Immigration and Nationality Act).
I greatly appreciate what you are doing on this forum. I have gained from reading your posts. I am just having a hard time getting my head around this one.
Thank you,
Nikhil
