H4-Volunteer

[nithyaswam]

Hi:

I am currently on H4 visa and I have a masters in computer Engineering. I am looking forward to volunteer and spend my spare time. However I have a few questions.
1. Can I volunteer in an organization and work in my speciality field like computers - This organization is in need of a person to help troubleshoot and write small programs and all that.

2. I am not EXPECTING any pay and i do not want any pay.. but i am wondering if INS will think this as wrong because it is my speciality- INS might think i am looking for a job?

3. should I volunteer in other fields not related to this speciality -computers ? like office work and others

Thanks in advance
NK

You can do voluntary work and not get into trouble with INS provided there is no renumeration!!

INS will suspect that you cheated if you mention this company in your resume...
