Hi Peter,
I'm a Canadian permanent resident (Australian citizen/passport) I have a valid B1/B2 visa which allows me into the US for 6 months at a time, but obviously no work permitted. I have questions about what constitutes "work" and I don't want to break the rules.
1. I have published some books, and have hard copies of them I bought. Am I allowed to physically sell those (for profit) while I'm in the US?
2. If I give talks in public venues (community halls, etc.), can I charge admission for porfit? What about "admission by donation?"
Thanks very much!
- proberts 7y ago1.) Really no but someone else on your behalf could. 2.) You can't charge admission but people could make donations to a third-party non-profit.
- ganeshkrishnan 7y agoSurprised to see someone exactly like me. I am Australian citizen with a Canadian PR and US B1. Pretty sure, I am not allowed to make any kind of money or get any government benefits on B1. You could sell those books from Canada into US (either cross border shipping or amazon or 3pl)
