Hello,
 
Am coming to U.S on H1B and my wife and child with H4. How much percentage of tax should I pay(in California)?
What could be done so that my wife can study/work?
 
Thank You

 

Your spouse can study on H4. To work she needs to qualify for a H1B job and have to find an employer willing file a H1B petition.

On a H-4 visa your wife is free study, and does not need to do anything extra other than providing a copy of her valid H-4 visa and associated I-94 card to the school (and comply with any other requirements by the school for international students).

 

On a H-4 visa you wife cannot work in any capacity whatsoever, even remotely / from home, for an overseas company, without pay, etc.  She can only be a volunteer where other persons are also volunteering, such as at a church or similar chartable organization.
