Hi Peter. I am on H-1B. What are the legal source of revenues other than the salary I receive from my employer (H-1B sponsor)? Is it ok to have capital gains, dividends, interests?



These can be permissible if they are given to other employees in similar positions and don't transform you from an employee to an owner/self-petitioner.


Is it ok for H-1B holders to have a trading account (unrelated to my employer) and generate revenues by trading? (not day trading)
