Hi everyone!

I read through some of the topics in this sub-forum but could not find an answer to my problem. (The only similar discussion I could find was about doing online work for a UK-based company)

I'm a Swiss citizen/resident. I am currently self-employed but am also a paid writer for a US website. I did not need any kind of work authorization for this but had to sign the W-8BEN form.

My USC fiancé and I are currently in the K-1 visa process and the only thing that makes me a little anxious is not being allowed to work once I'm in the US. I would really love to at least continue writing for that website until I can start a real job. Will I be allowed to do that while waiting for my EAD? Would I need to inform the employer and sign another form? (W-9?)

We're not talking about a large sum of money, btw. I'm not a full-time employee or anything like that but just a freelance contributor. It's normally around $150/month and I do it for fun and to keep myself busy.

I hope someone can help. Thank you happy.png
