Opportunity for H4 visa holders

katherinesaju9 · Oct 12, 2014

Hi Geetika

This is Katherine. Just joined the group. I am on an H4 visa . Is it possible for us to work in the Indian Embassy in USA. Is that allowed since on H4 we are not legally allowed to work right

This whole working for the embassy thing sounds shady and illegal. If you are on a H4, you cannot work, period. Thats why you dont get a SSN because there will be income to report against your name. Getting a fixed "tax-free" income is then most definitely illegal.

I would strongly recommend against this. US has rule of law unlike India, where one can bribe out of any trouble. Here if you get caught, you will face consequences (Fine, Jail time, deportation) Please dont take this lightly.

The only realistic way out, as some sensible posters have suggested is - convert to F1, do a Masters degree and using that get a EAD or H1 for further work.

Please dont jeopardize your DH's career and your stay in US by resorting to these illegal methods.
