Hi marnold,

 

I came across this topic as I'm in the same situation as having a UK limited company that I'd like to continue working on as an owner-operator between getting married on the K1 and receiving EAD.

Once I have the EAD I want to start an LLC and mirror the UK company. While waiting for the EAD I'd like to focus on growth, brand building and targeting UK/EU clients, before shifting to US clients after EAD.

Ideally will take money out of the company either as salary, dividends or director's loan - subject to US tax.

 

Could I ask what you ended up doing? Any issues or recommendations?

 

Thanks!

Josh

By law you're not allowed to work without work authorization (EAD) or until you're LPR and have GC.

 

At the same time, law says any unauthorized work will be forgiven if:

- You honestly disclose it on forms and during interview

- You're married to US citizen

- You didn't have false claim to US citizenship (e.g. fooled employer / bank etc) saying you're a US citizen to get job / funds / other benefits
