Could my fiance be a tourist/work part-time in other countries as we wait for NOA2?

[Tangelo5 1]

Hello immigration community, could my fiance travel as a tourist (visitor visa) to other countries as we wait for our NOA2? She is from the Philippines and wants to go visit her sister in Qatar for a few months and perhaps get a part-time job in the country while she is with her sister. I want her to feel and be productive and want to say yes to it. I'm also trying to be careful that we won't trigger any unseen issues. Any thoughts? Sorry if the question seems silly. I'm just being cautious. Thank you very much.

Does Qatar allow visitor visa to work?

It's okay for K1 applicants to be at a 3rd country as long as they don't break any laws or don't commit any fraud.

They may need to get a police report from the 3rd country for the K1 interview.

I believe the K1 applicants need to list or update all the countries in the I-129F they've been to for the past 5 years and need to have police reports from each of those countries.

In fact, my K1 beneficiary interviewed at a 3rd country while legally working at the 3rd country and had to get police reports from her home country and the 3rd country.

Seems like a great way to require another police certificate

Don't they have to be there more than 6 months?

Just like any other countries you are not allowed to work on a visit visa period.

It sounds like a great way to get your fiancee in trouble.

 

If she wants to work, let her get a job where she is right now, or apply for the right work visa for that country.

she can travel anyplace she is allowed to  /this is not controlled by US immigration rules

but for qatar,  she needs a sponsor and follow the rules about leaving the country as a worker

HSW are household service workers

if she does this,  get a criminal report from Qatar even if not there 6 months as the embassy CO can ask for it (even though not required)

 

https://www.overseas-filipinos.com/qatar-facts.html#:~:text=Read here on how to,an employee to another sponsor.

 

You can work in Qatar through a sponsor or kafeel under the Qatar labour law. A worker, not a tourist, may not enter or leave the country without a kafeel. And many sponsors do not allow the transfer of an employee to another sponsor. HSWs are prone to abuse because of this system.

My indirect experience with the Qatar job scene is that it is not likely employer will hire for under 6 months.

Thank you everybody! We have an idea of what to do.
