catx Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 In a word, no. A F-2 visa does not allow any authorized employment, which includes freelance work. It does not matter where the account is registered, where the money goes, etc. If you are in the U.S. doing the work, then you are working in the U.S. Link to comment
t75 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 NO. On F2 you may NOT work for anyone, including yourself. Link to comment

My question is , will I be able to continue my freelance work wile I'm live in USA ? Absolutely NO! On F2, you can NOT work at all, not for a company in the US and not for a company abroad!

simk Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I have heard that many people are doing this.. even though it is illegal. They simply give the direct deposit on one of their relative's name and work on their name, while working and living in USA on F2/H4 Link to comment

It is also tax evasion. ANd if people think USCIS is bad, they haven't had to deal with IRS... The bottom line: NEVER NEVER NEVER do this kind of stuff! Link to comment
