I am fully aware that a K1 beneficiary can’t work without an EAD. But my work setup would be quite unique. I’m currently a permanent employee in a company based in the Philippines. The notice period on my contract says 60 days but I can only do 30+ days since I have to leave the country in April before my visa expires in May. Now, my manager suggested if they could change my permanent employee contract to Independent Contractor (freelance) and pay me 3 months worth of work before I leave the Philippines. I will then work for those paid hours remotely. That way, technically, I wouldn’t be getting paid for a job while i’m “working” in the US. Would this be violating the no EAD, no work rule? I don’t wanna screw up my GC application cause of this. Any advice would be helpful.

Hi everyone! My fiancé just received our NOA2 about a couple weeks ago and I wanted to get started with compiling all the documents needed from my end. Although, I have a major concern regarding the SLEC medical exam. Unfortunately, I have scars on my lungs due to PTB history years ago and the scars will be visible in my chest x-ray results forever, so i’m 99.9% sure I would have to undergo a sputum test. I’ve completed the TB 6-month treatment, but I no longer have copies of my old x-ray and doctor’s clearance as proof. The only proof that I have is the fit-to-work clearance from my doctor at the time, stating that I’ve started the treatment and that I’m no longer contagious. Would it help if I see a pulmonologist and do a sputum test to get an updated medical clearance before my SLEC medical appointment so that I have a supporting document proving that my TB was cured and what I have are scars? I’m from the Philippines btw so any tips from fellow filipinos who were in the same situation would GREATLY help. Thank you
