H1B 221g ongoing, F2 filed and rejected

[concernedCitizen11]

Hi,

I got my H1B visa approved and I got the approval notice without I-94. Hence, I had to leave US and I went to the VO in Hyderabad. He handed over a yellow colored 221g after that. I took my visa appointment for F-2 after 1.5 months of waiting for their decision and it got rejected. My husband is a student in US and I am stuck in India. I got married recently and I do not have MS from US.

Please let me know if I can continue working while I am in India, as the last day to work on my approval notice is valid till first week of March. My consultant (whom I work for) informed me that even though my F2 got rejected, I can still work till that date as the decision has not been made (221g).

Thanks

Since your H1B was approved and H1b being a dual intent visa, there are high chances that you will receive further scrutiny on your F visa. You can work in India .

Please let me know if there a need to file tax returns for working in the US (from may to november last year), now that I am working from India?
