Hi Appreciate if any one can help me in clarifying the below query. Suppose If L2 Visa and EAD is getting expired in coming months and for the VISA / EAD renewal process it may take couple of months and I know that legally I cannot work in US. In the meanwhile residing here in USA can I work as an Independent Contractor for other countries ( India, Dubai e.t.c). Or Is it illegal to work from US anywhere till the L2 EAD gets approved? Thanks for reading this message and please provide your valuable suggestion/advise. Regards DPM
