Hello everyone, I'm from Italy and I'm on H1b visa. I have been living in USA for almost 7 years . I'm currently working full time for a company that has just started the process of sponsoring me for my green card. The companyny os of course using a lawyer. It looks like the wait to actually receive a green card is of about 4 years. I'm a sculptor and I have a almost a master in Art( I 'm missing 3 courses). I love the company I work for and I still want to work for this company and help it to grow and succeed but I would like to do some art work on the side that would allow me to express my artistic skills and also to make extra money. I have lots of people interested in my art . I have always been scared to jeopardize my visa status. According to what I have read I'm not allowed to make any extra money unless it's coming form my sponsor or from rent. I really would like to start my little artistic business that of course would not interfere with my company's job. Does somebody have any suggestions or experience in this field?
Thank you so much in advance.
