Dear everyone,
Hajur haru sanga feri yeuta salla maagu bhanera lekhdai chhu. My wife has just got approval for f1 status effective from august 25th. Before that she was on H-4. So, technically, she is on h-4 till august 25th when her f-1 status kicks in as a grad. student. But her professor wants her to work from 2nd week of august and he will pay for that. I am not sure if she can take payment until august 25th because technically she will be in h-4 till that date. International office says you can work 1 month ahead of scheduled date but that applies to students coming from overseas, but not sure if that applies to people who change status here. I am in little confusion. Do you think its legal to work and get paid before august 25th? I know international students can start working 1 month ahead of scheduled time but not sure for someone who has changed status from h-4 to f-1? Tapai haruko uttar ko pratikshya ma chhu.
Thanx in advance!
