On L2 Visa- can I continue to work for current Indian employer remotely through internet and phone?

Question

I am moving to US for 3 months on L2 Visa to stay with my wife who is already there on L1. I have the flexibility to work from home. Can I continue to work from home in US?

I will be on India rolls of my company and will continue to get the Indian salary. All my tasks will be performed through internet and phone. Is it illegal? I am not taking any job or making dollars in US. Though I will be applying for EAD on arrival. But till the time EAD is approved, is it ok to work for the Indian company?

My Indian organization seems to be unsure. Please help me.

Answer 1

Friend,

- It is perfectly OK, if you are not being paid in US.

- If your employer, deposit your salery in to your INDIA bank account, nothing is wrong and everything is legal.

If you want to earn in US, you should get EAD [Work Permit], however, as your emplyer is giving you salery in INDIA, nothing to worry..!

All the best.

Answer 2

On L2 you can get work permit and work legally.
