Default Opportunity for H4 visa holders

Hi,
This is Anitha here, I have seen a lot of topics about H4 visa holders and how they can work in the US....
This reminds me of one of my friend whom I know in 2006.. she was on H4 visa but was working for a company (a regular 8 to 5 job 5 days a week) as a testing consultant through a consulting company...
But I remember she said to me that as per papers she is volunteering for the consulting company... but the consulting company charges the actual company on a hourly basis....
the contract between my friend and this consulting company is that... once a sufficient amount of money she has earned for the consulting company they will pay for processing h1 for my friend at-least 2 different H1's.. and once she gets the H1 she would come on the consulting companies pay roll and the consulting company would pay my friend whatever she earned before h1 as a joining bonus...
That way my friend got the visa, got the money as one lump sum... and the consulting company also made money...
she said to it was a good opportunity.. but due to the risk of it we didn't pursue it ...
what you think? is that a good option? if anyone interested I could get more details...

Default Re: Opportunity for H4 visa holders

Anitha

I dont know how many companies or people would really be engaged in such situations....am sure if the Immigration dept finds this out..both the company and the consultant will be black listed...I have never heard anyone doing this....

Yes i have heard H4 people working from home like home recruiters (free lancing) for the consulting companies to hire consultants or place consultants and getting % or fixed amount per consultant they refered ...this is paid like a volunteer effort..however I dont know in this case also how the taxes are paid or deducted or sometimes taxes are not paid at all...which didnt really effect anyone...just like baby sitting or catering from home...done by H4 working women...
