Can we do side hustles on H1B? If not, what about H4?

Per my knowledge, only passive investing allowed on H1B. Absolutely nothing that leads to another W2. Nothing that can be construed as competing with a US citizen or GC holder. So, no gig economy like Uber, Doordash, Etsy, etc. H4-EAD I am not sure but I think it is allowed. On the latter, best to check with an imm attorney.

Agreed to what is said about H1B.

Please don't

Hi all!
My mother in law got scammed by a con artist from the UK online and lost $7K (damn you Facebook!)

Her status in the US is currently complicated and she doesn’t have a green card(tho she’s working on it), my wife(her daughter) is American.

I want to report this to the FBI’s elder fraud department but I don’t want to complicate her situation even more.

Does anyone know if criminal stuff like this and immigration related things are separated?

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?
