本人(H4), 140 已批準。目前有一個機會可以做谘詢顧問,會有一次性的顧問費。請問老師,
1. 如果合作方在美國支付我這筆顧問費,我可以收這個顧問費嗎?
-Technically, you cannot work to get this income. But you may ask the company whether they will report this income to IRS (i.e., they will issue you Form 1099 at the end of this year for your tax return filing). If yes, you cannot accept this income. If no, then you are fine to get the income because IRS will not find it.
By the way, why don't you apply for H-4 EAD to work?
2 如果可以,我可以將這筆顧問費存入我個人的獨立賬戶 或我愛人的賬戶嗎?
-Either way is fine.
這會對我們的綠卡申請有什麽影響?
-If the employer report this income to IRS, then it depends on how long you work to get this income. See above explanation.
