So... I'm updating this thread because I had my AOS interview today. I'm still working remotely for my Canadian company and of course my husband and I agreed to be totally truthful if asked if I was working.

Turns out the officer didn't ask me- he asked my husband. He asked him if I was working to which my husband answered yes she was, she's working remotely. The officer then asked him what I do (engineering) and then what type of engineering I was doing (robotic CAD systems). The officer was fine with those answers and moved on to something else.

My green card was approved shortly after. :)

I agree with Loki. It is a grey area. There has not been any definitive ruling on the issue hence grey area. It is also true that there haven't been any documented repercussions of anyone working rem

Wonder why they asked, not relevant.

There is the old adage that they only ask questions they know the answers to.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

We talked about it after and we think it was just a line of questioning to see if my husband knew what I did. The officer also asked him my parents' names and when we saw them last. Like it was more related to our relationship as opposed to if I was staying within the law so to speak.

That makes sense.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
