Looking for job in H4 status : Expert opinions needed

Re: Ways to work as H4

Hi there !

Same is the case with me. I was working back in India in Software Testing.. and i'm waiting for a job for the past 6 months after marriage for the right opportunity.
Why dont we share some Software materials in our group and keep preparing to shoot at the target? Do anyone have contacts to do freelance projects? if so, help me too..
The one good option will be to wait till April 08 and apply an H1
Last but not least, Im new to this group. Thanks for the organised welcome Emails..Appreciated !!

Dear Akalya and other Members,
Hello to everyone.I know you ladies are talking about the H4, not having the oppurtunity for working.But few of them are telling they are working in other ways, but you have to really careful with that, as practising Immigration Attorney, you have to be really careful about the status, it is also going to affect yours and your husband and family status if something goes wrong.Iam happy to tell from the legal side if you have any questions, you can send me a private message. But i said earlier just be careful and aware of the laws , before doing something.Thanks,
Madhu

H4 Visas should be allowed to work

:ideaMost people on H4 Visas are well educated and would easily be able to contribute to american economy. We are lawabiding and can give so much to american economy. All our talents are wasted and skills are rotting sitting around for the backlog centers to clear the LC's and for retrogression to end.Meanwhile we practically have no life and are completely dependant .

 

Re: H4 Visas should be allowed to work

Hi there,


Very True, during the weekend i had been to a bank and wanted to apply for a credit card . In turn i was told that they don't allot credit cards to dependent members. i was so upset knowing that i would have to be a dumb till i m under this visa status.

Re: H4 Visas should be allowed to work

I remember the "tips" floating around the Chennai US consulate in those days that the candidate was supposed to suppress the spouse's qualifications during the interview because they did not want the Embassy to think that the immigrants could be prospective citizens - perhaps this should explain why one has to wait until one gets a work authorization
