Does an F-2 visa allow online business?
Hi,
I know that F-2 visa doesn't allow any kind of employment with a payroll, but what about having an online shop?
I'm currently living in the US on an F-2 visa (my husband is a student). I really have nothing to do since I'm not allowed to work and I'm thinking to start a small online shop selling my artwork. Is this OK? Will I break the law if I do this?
Is receiving a bank transfer or a check (but not payroll) lawful for my case? And what about using PayPal?
Please help me. I'm desperate.
Thank you.
If you are making your money in the United States, that is generally considered work, whether it's through a traditional employer or through self-employment. And, unfortunately, F-2s are not allowed to work.
You could try to retain an immigration attorney to see if there are any ways to do it where everything is handled overseas, but if you're in the U.S., I think that will be tough.
