I have L1 visa and work for my sponsor company. Can I rent out my property (townhouse) in the US?

L-1 means you can only be employed by the sponsor company to remain in status.  Deriving income from a passive investment should not be construed as employment.

Quitting masters program midway after change in status

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
The question to U.S.C.I.S. or to any U. S. consular post is whether you maintained your legal status before your H-1B became effective in October. You are not required to complete a 2nd Masters degree. Your employer’s alternative suggestion of completing a minimum of 3 months college after the H-1B starts may be a better idea although you are supposed to work under H-1B status as soon as you are able in October. A suggestion for you would be to obtain a letter from the school stating that you are a full-time student in good standing in October. Then you should be able to work under your H-1B visa status without fear of consequences in the future.

Is it possible to switch to a new immigration attorney from my attorney that I have even though I’m waiting for an interview for my significant other.

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
It is always possible to switch to another immigration attorney, but a few words of caution – your next attorney will probably want to see a copy of the entire file as he or she does not wish to be surprised by anything in your background or that has already been revealed to USCIS. You should ensure that your present attorney has your address or email so that he or she can send you copies of any communication received from USCIS. Also, your new attorney may very well be charging you a fee in excess of what you expect to pay. We have seen many times individuals who believe that they should only pay for part of the case because the former attorney did some work. To your new attorney, this is a new case, and he or she will have to go over the work that was previously done and remedy anything that may be deficient.
