I am on h4 visa and i want to know that if i work from home online is it legal?secondly,where will the money be transferred that i earn?Do i have to open a bank account?If yes which bank?
Online earnings are allowed on H4 visa. When we make money online,there are three payment methods,which we have discussed above

You can have Bank account in any Bank, US/India any where. Your Paypal account can be connected to Indian bank account. For check/cheque deposits, its better to have account in US, else you need to send Check/Cheque to India. AlertPay also issues checks once your balance reached $100 there,so same goes with it.

Regular jobs/part time jobs, like Virtual Assistant are not allowed for H4 as they require Work Permit.

People can make money from the sites we have added on the right hand side sidebar

Good Luck

Im on H4 in USA-have a blog

Hi im on H4 in USA.I have a blog and wanted to add google adds to it.Is it ok if the pay check is on my name? Can H4 visa holder pay tax?I have ITIN, is that useful for h4 tax pays? Pls let me know. I will be waiting for ur answer.

Answer : Actually, the break point is $600. Once your income exceeds $600, the "employer" becomes obligated to prepare Form 1099 to document your income to the IRS.

Regardless of the amount, earning ANY money is a violation of your H-4 visa. It is NOT a major violation, but the USCIS will eventually take notice if you continually earn this money and report it on the tax return you file with your spouse.

While checking out a few sites, all of them ask whether i am a legal worker . They say i will need to pay tax for my earnings. If that is the case, can i pay tax under h4 Visa for my earnings? Please do reply for my doubts. Depends, on which site are you talking about. The sites discussed on this site will allow you to join.

If you earn a taxable income you need to pay tax but if you make $400-$500 a month, there is no tax but yes you need to submit Paypal a/c statement when you file tax.

Coming to US on L2 visa-Query

2009-10-29T07:40:00.000-07:00

I got your contact while going through some of websites. I will be coming to US in chicago this October end on L2 visa. My queries:
1. Can i get a job (part time, full time, online jobs) on L2 visa
2. I have got around 4+ years of experience in Software Testing: so can i get a job in the same field.
If so could you please provide me the information.
On L2 you can work in US. You need to apply for Work Permit,it generally gets approved in about 2-5months time depending on State you apply in.

It fees at the State,where we are is $340,it again depends on the State.

So,you can get a full time job once you get Work Permit. Definitely in your line of Software Testing.

Online jobs are available for all whether having a full-time,part-time or no jobs.

Good Day

Thanks a lot for the prompt reply.

I have one more query, without having Work permit can i do online jobs or any part time jobs. Online jobs don't need any work permit, you can work on them from US or any part of world,as they are online :)

Part Time job needs work permit.Working without work permit is illegal.

What kind of jobs can a perosn on H4 Visa do legally and get paid?

2009-08-27T09:01:00.000-07:00

None.Straight and Simple Answer.

Working on H4 Visa is illegal, you cannot do any job legally.

We have heard that a lot of H4 visa holders work,there are four conditions
-They are working illegally
-They receive salary in cash
-Salary in cash,so no tax on it
-If caught they can be sent back/deported to their home country

Read all this online, never worked in this way so don't know exactly and none of my friends work here.

But all of it make sense, if its illegal,you will naturally be deported to home country due to violation of law.

If you are ready for it, go and search an employer who is ready to keep illegal worker.

There must be few such employers as we read that many illegal citizens in US work, so if they are illegal employees, some employer is giving them job.

H4 Visa - USA

2009-08-26T15:15:00.000-07:00

An H-4 visa is a visa issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to immediate family members (spouse and children under 21 years of age) of the H-1B visa holders.

USCIS allows immediate family members of H visa holders (H-1A, H-1B, H-2A, H-2B, or H-3) to get H-4 visas to lawfully come and stay in the US. These visas are usually issued at the local US consulate office abroad. However, if the person is already in US, he or she can obtain H-4 visa by filing Form I-539 for change of status.

H-4 visa holders are not eligible to get a Social Security Number and cannot be employed, but can hold a driver's license, open bank account(s) and get ITIN for IRS Tax purpose.

Family members may alternatively be admitted in other non-immigrant categories for which they qualify, such as the F-1 category for children or spouses who will be students or the H-1B category for a spouse whose employer has also obtained approval of an H-1B visa petition to employ the spouse. An H-4 visa holder is admitted to the U.S. for the duration of the primary (H-1B, H-2A, H-2B, or H-3) visa validity.

Since H-4 visa holders are not issued a Social security number, an ITIN (Individual tax identification number) should be obtained before filing for joint tax returns. There is a form W-7 that needs to be filled and related documentation which is mentioned in the W-7 form must be notarized and to be sent to the address mentioned in the W-7 form.

The notarization can be done in many of the USPS offices in the USA, (ones that offer passport services,) for this you need to take the original documents that are applicable for you which is mentioned in the W-7. The notarized copy should be sent along with the filled W-7 form to obtain an ITIN number.

The application for ITIN (W-7), should be filed along with the tax return to the address different from regular tax return address. IRS will assign ITIN and process the tax refund.
