Can I stay in the U.S. and work remotely if I get a job offer in the U.S.?
I’m a student completing a master’s degree and don’t have OPT.
I recently got a remote/contract job offer. I’d like to know if there’s a way for me to work here, and if so, what it would be.
You need a valid status that grants work authorization in order to work. Even remote work within the U.S. requires work authorization or an EAD. Statuses that could provide work authorization through a company sponsor include H-1B, J-1, and O-1.
