Is it possible to get a part time job on an H3 Visa?

Question

I am a Canadian moving to Denver on an H3 Trainee visa, and I want to know if it is possible to get a part time job( I will have a social security number) I know with a student Visa it is not aloud, but I was not sure about this one. Is there any way at all I can legally earn money?!?!?

Answer 1

As a "trainee" you can only participate in the training program.  You cannot work and cannot get authorization to work.  You are limited to your training program.  If there is no remuneration or stipend, you must prove you have sufficient funds for all your expenses while in this training program, plus funds for your transportation home upon completion or termination of the training.

Answer 2

You can apply for freelance writing, bookkeeping, software, transcription, online tuition or customer service work at home jobs. These companies do not require any fee and pay well . List of companies(with websites) offering genuine work at home jobs is available at http://wa7.info . Many of these companies have been in business for several years

Answer 3

Alien Trainees (H-3)

The H-3 classification applies to aliens (beneficiaries) coming temporarily to the U.S. to participate in a training program. There are general H-3’s, and those coming for special education training. There is currently no annual cap on H-3 admissions to the U.S.

The petitioning employer or sponsors must demonstrate that the:

     Proposed training is not available in the beneficiary’s home country

     Beneficiary will not be placed in a position which is in the normal operation of the business, and in which citizens and resident alien workers are regularly employed

     Beneficiary will not be productively employed except as incidental to training

     Training will benefit beneficiary in pursuing a career outside the U.S.

Note: H-3 status is not appropriate for graduate education, including medical training, except under special circumstances. Petitioning employers may not use H-3 classification for training programs primarily designed to benefit the U.S. companies and/or where U.S. workers would be employed but for the trainees’ services.

therefore you could not get a part time job while in the US;
