Remote Working while on a B2 Visa

Hello Everybody!

I posted right here earlier than about adjusting my standing from B2 to GC (marriage-based). In that put up, I discussed my distant job. Sadly, I did not know then that working remotely within the US whereas on a vacationer visa just isn’t allowed.

One of many commenters of that put up replied with “Part 245(c) of the INA” concerning unauthorized work being forgiven for instant family of US residents.

I’ve a query: Will the unauthorized work be forgiven solely after getting married or will the work achieved earlier than getting married be forgiven as nicely?

I discovered this related article:

To make clear, I am technically not working “underneath the desk” right here within the US, extra so “unauthorized”. I’ve distant work by means of a contract web site, and my employer is in my residence nation. Since it is a “distant job”, I used to be capable of carry it with me whereas visiting right here within the US on a B2 visa. Now I am about to get married to my USC fiancé and start with AOS quickly.

I’m getting anxious that I’d encounter an issue with my AOS utility due to my distant job.. Will my state of affairs be exempted due to “Part 245(c) of the INA”? Has anybody right here skilled the identical factor?

I plan to inform the reality anyway when the interview comes.

Any recommendation could be drastically appreciated! Thanks upfront 🙂
