domestic violence uvisa applied no job

[zee1]

I don't have a work permit because I am waiting for u-visa approval. I used to work an year ago, but I lost job due to domestic violence, hospitalization and divorce. My friends have been supporting me and my children because I can't legally work while waiting for visa approval. its becoming very tough to raise two children with almost no income. Desperately waiting for work authorization but until then I am wondering if I am allowed to work remotely for any non-US company and who pay outside of US ?  I want to understand tax and immigration implications for this scenario. I am willing to report any income on taxes, but I am not sure if I am allowed to work remotely for a company that doesn't have operations in US..

Sorry, no, you can't work while in the US, even if the company is abroad. Your location matters, not the company location. And foreign income has to be declared on your US tax return, anyway.

Discuss tour situation with a good immigration lawyer, e.g., from the law firm that runs this forum (phone # on every page.)

You may be able to get an U visa as victim of domestic violence.
