We submitted my wife's AOS package and received the receipt numbers. With me at work all day she gets a little bored at home and we thought maybe she could volunteer down at the local humane society a few times a week. Is there any problem doing this for a strictly volunteer position without any pay or benefits? Should I call USCIS and ask?
