Hi,

If my wife come here (in H4 visa). Her brother has a business and she is part of it. Can he send money to her. Does that consider as she earning here. Which will effect her status.

Please advise.

Thanks in advance
 
To best of my knowledge, she will not be considered as being employed here. So she is not violating here H4 status, but she is earning money on her foreign investments. She will need to report it on her tax return and pay taxes. You may want to check with a CPA to be sure.
 
Oh that is good information. So This means H4 visa holders could work for foreign company over here remotely and just file taxes as foreign earning? and this would not violate H4 visa.
 
I never said that. Earning money from your investments as a passive investor is different than working for a foreign company and making money. When you said brother will be sending money, I assumed this is her share of profit from the company and not pay based on her working for the company.
