Probably Losing H1b Visa Status
Hi all,
I am in the process of getting my extension on my h1b. I am approved and waiting quota to open up to get my green card. I have opened a personal dba with out knowing I could not do this. Over this DBA i have collected and paid taxes last year. On this extension i am getting questioned about the taxes i paid on my dba now. I am probably going to lose my h1b1 status and have to redo everything. I got some time before i respond. What do i do. Get a new job restart everything? Or am i just f'ed up big time. I need help. please advise.
Re: Probably Losing H1b Visa Status
You worked illegally since on H-1B status you are only permitted to work for your sponsoring employer; this is well documented to be an unacceptable activity. Illegal work is a significant event in immigration processing. Given the consequences, you should consult an attorney.
