Thanks for doing this! Can a person on H1b work remotely in the US for their own company outside the US? They'd pay taxes on any international income. Also what if they didn't work but own the company and receive income?
- proberts 4y agoU.S. immigration law doesn't apply to those outside the U.S. so there's no immigration issue with working for your own company while outside the U.S.
- conqrr 4y agoSorry I meant working inside the US for company registered outside the US

- proberts 4y agoUS immigration law hasn't caught up with remote employment but the short answer is no and this makes sense since this would allow anyone in the U.S. to circumvent U.S. immigration law simply by setting up an entity outside the U.S. and then getting paid by this entity.
- bombcar 4y agoI think the question is - someone outside the US has a business, moves to the US on an H1B, and wants to continue working for their outside-the-US business.
- robertlagrant 4y agoMy (non-proberts) understanding is that H-1B is for US employers to bring in specific individuals because their skills are hard to find in the US. If I've understood you correctly, your scenario isn't relevant to that.
