这个灰色地带会让你有机会绕过美国法律变相威胁美国人的工作。要发现是不难的,因为 你要全球报税吧?瞒得了一时,瞒得了一世?等你拿了绿卡,中国银行把名单往美国政府 一送,啥都暴露了。 http://www.uscis.gov/ilink/docView/SLB/HTML/SLB/0-0-0-1/0-0-0-1 看这条,清楚写的是"any employment",而不是跟美国相关的工作。虽然确实有律师认为 可以为foreign employer工作,但是从目前的情况来看,大部分律师是认为只要你踏上美 国国土就不能从事“任何”工作。 你可以有passive income,这个是有明确例子的,当年那个德国还是英国的作家,写书得 到得稿费,由于是passive income,而且按时报税,最后是拿到绿卡得。 总之,这个事情不能简单说可以,美国查不到,就鼓励lz去做。出了问题你能负责?而是 应该说清楚风险,让lz自己选择。 (e) Employment. A nonimmigrant in the United States in a class defined in section 101(a)(15)(B) of the Act as a temporary visitor for pleasure, or section 101(a)(15)(C) of the Act as an alien in transit through this country , may not engage in any employment. Any other nonimmigrant in the United States may not engage in any employment unless he has been accorded a nonimmigrant classification which authorizes employment or he has been granted permission to engage in employment in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. A nonimmigrant who is permitted to engage in employment may engage only in s uch employment as has been authorized. Any unauthorized employment by a nonimmigrant constitutes a failure to maintain status within the meaning of section 241(a)(1)(C) (i) of the Act.
你举的例子都不是"work",是"biz"。官方网站对此有详细的说明。 比如,可以去帮客户调试机器,但是不能开发这个机器(硬件软件等) 你到底有没有去查过官方文档啊?只是不停用日常语言在这里搅。 日常生活中的词语和法律文档是有不同的定义和含义的。 就跟resident一样,上学、国税、州税都有不同的定义,你非要用日常 生活的resident来说事有什么意义呢?法律条文说了算。 employment并不是单纯的有一份劳动合同,而是要满足一系列的测试条件 b1如果要work,也是要申请EAD的,什么情况怎么申请,uscis都有条文 否则,我只要在中国开一个外包公司,就可以很容易绕过H4不能为美国公 司工作的限制了。 有志于理解这滩浑水的人不妨仔细阅读 http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/87206.pdf 及相关条文 随便摘抄几句如下: ... Engaging in business contemplated for B-1 visa classification generally entails business activities other than the performance of skilled or unskilled labor. ... It can be difficult to distinguish between appropriate B-1 business activities, and activities that constitute skilled or unskilled labor in the United States that are not appropriate on B status.
