Uni scholarship from home country

[EandS2019 389]

Hi all,

 

If the beneficiary came to the US on the K1 and continued her PhD program from a distance with her current non-US university, and still continued receiving her scholarships which are paid by the non-US university, is this allowed? I thought it would be allowed because the source of income isn't from the US + it's a living allowance scholarship for studying (not employment), but I want to double check.

 

Thanks

I think you already know the answer.  Working is not allowed without permission.   Is she working?

Not an issue.

yeah it would be allowed but id be more concerned about the scholarship being cancelled with her moving to a new country

I thought I knew the answer, however I wanted a second opinion due to it still being an ‘income’. I’d rather be safe than sorry.

 

Thank you everyone for your responses.
