My wife has always been self-employed, and would like to start working here in the US as soon as possible. Can she start to work for herself after her green card application has been submitted? If not, at what point will she be able to work?
I don't know if the card and numbers are just required for tax tracking purposes and for employers, but since she will be reporting her own income at the end of the year anyway, can she start right away?
She is also a writer and still writes and edits for magazines that are back in her old country. This writing will continue, even after she starts working here. She still pays taxes back there, as well. Can this work continue, even while she's waiting?
Thanks!
