yuyu2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Right now I'm on H1B, I works for a company. Now my friends want me to help them about the project. My role in this project will be a advisory committee, without payment. All I need to do is to give them a support letter and some advise. I want to ask if this is legal. Thank you for letting me know. Link to comment

pontevecchio Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 You can advise a friend. But what did you mean about letter of support? Link to comment
JoeF Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Thank you for this information, I can not do this even I won't get paid? It is still work, even if you don't get paid. You can NOT do this. Link to comment
rahul412 Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Thank you for this information, I can not do this even I won't get paid? Work is work, whether you get paid or not paid. Got it?? Link to comment
JoeF Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 You can advise a friend. But what did you mean about letter of support? From the OP's post: "My role in this project will be a advisory committee," This is not just "advising a friend". That's obviously part of a work project. That makes it work. A person can advise a friend about things like buying car x or y. But certainly not about some work project. Link to comment
