My Fiancé has been admitted for PhD in the US. I am a Tech Support Engineer with 2.5 years of experience. Can I work remotely from the US for a different country?, if not, is there any other ways to find legal employment in the US?(I am trying to get a H1B,but not sure if I will get it for my experience)
Best Answer
As F-2, you cannot work at all. If your spouse gets J-1 status instead of F-1, then you could apply for work permission as J-2. Getting J-1 instead of F-1 depends on the program and university, and is often an option for PhD programs at large universities.
