Hi All,

I am indian citizen. I have job in india. This week only i came to USA. Still i am having job in india. Here my question is, is it possible to work for indian client.

Thank you.

No.

[haritha111]

No.

Even though i am indian citizen and not earning any money from USA right. I am planning to work remotely to india. Still it's a problem.

Yes, No work legally allowed while you are on US soil on a H4.

[ramabalaji]

You can not work on a H4 or B2 visa. You have not stated on what visa you have gone to USA.

Yes. But i am not going to office. simply i am planning to work from home to india remotely.

Doesn't matter ...

... you're working in United States on a visa that does not allow you to do so.

Whether you get the remuneration in US or India does not matter.

Hope this makes sense, else you can go ahead and do what you go to do and bear the consequences.

Good luck.

If you want to work, you should not remain on H4 visa status inside the US boundary. Simple and plain. ILLEGAL!!

Not being able to work is one of the disadvantages for H4s. You and your spouse should have understood this before coming to US as it is well documented and certainly not a secret or unusual question.

You may attend school, volunteer, or sit home and watch TV. You may not work - not for a company, not babysit, not tutor, nothing.
