Internship while waiting for work authorization?

[Yoink 7]

Our AOS and EAD is sent out and we are waiting.

Fiance had the Employment Authorization stamp at POE for the K-1 length but it expired last week. Was working but stopped on that date. WHile waiting for EAD from CIS can u take an internship? Although it is unpaid is there some legality about unpaid working, insurance, etc.

Thanks

I know you can volunteer, I'm not sure about interning - because I believe there is some talk about doing a job which would normally be a paid job.

If the unpaid internship some how magically transforms into a "paid" position...(or if it is with the current organization she has previously worked for) and therefore just a "disguise", then the USCIS takes a different view of this kind of internship and could consider it "work"....

Thanks right after I posted I saw some old links to the same questions.... ANother question, there is no problem registering for college classes?

How does that work.. just regular admissions?

Speak to the respective admissions office... they deal with this all the time... If you are accepted however, you most likely will pay "out of state" tuition until residency is granted, but then again you may not.... that is for the school to decide
