Self-employed or subcontracting work without EAD

[Kez/JWolf 6]

Wow what a very complicated way of finding out how to work on a K1 without a EAD..... all for what 90 days max... and if you are still waiting for EAD from your AOS application then you are not employment authorized so you should not be doing any work.... or maybe you are just looking for a way to get around the law.... could be interesting if you are asked about dates you worked at your AOS interview... I guess you could just lie..

My Take on it is.... wait until you have the proper document and do thing right....

jenni and sami,

IRS is the tax man, not CIS nor ICE. And didn't you write in your original scenario that taxes were being paid? In which case IRS would be satisfied.

jenni and sami,

Independent contractors wear two hats - employer and employee. As an employee, married to a USC they are OK with the USCIS for immigration purposes. Don't know how they would stand with ICE as an employer.

Thanks Yodrak. So if there were any repercussions, they would more than likely be of the financial/tax variety, rather than the "you're on the next plane home" type of problem? Theoretically speaking, of course.
