L-1B visa question
One of my cousin working for an offshore company in
USA on L-1B visa. She is working at a client place in
Atlanta as a consultant. She is not working at
Offshore comapny's branch office in US, she is working
as a consultant just like H-1B visa holder.
Now she is worried that can she work as a consultant
other than offshore company's branch office? As per
the L-1B visa rules is she allowed to do consulting
job?
Her company is not paying any taxes and just paying
expenses in US and salary back in India. But the
offshore company is showing that she is working at
their branch office and sending her for consulting. The
company'e intension in bringing her on L-1B visa is to
avoid taxes and moreover it is convenient to get approval
for L-1B visa than H-1B visa.
Since she is not working at the offshore company's branch office in US and working on a consulting project at client place, is she going to be in trouble??
Please suggest your advice.
