Volunteer Work

I am wondering is it o.k. to volunteer in the same field that I will be looking for a job once I receive EAD? It woudl benefit me to learn USA rules and procedures, since they are different than Canadian, as well as, it would be nice to get a job reference once I am looking for a paying job.

Thanks

Nope.. if it is a position where one would normally be paid.. you cannot volunteer for a position...

Thanks Zyggy, I wasn't sure and didn't want to do anything that is not allowed before checking. I hope to get EAD soon as this is so hard sitting at home.
