Freelance work on Fiancee Visa
« on: July 17, 2005, 08:24:17 AM »
Hey! First off, I apologize if I am posting in the wrong category and/or this topic is explained somewhere else on the site that I have yet to discover....but anyways, I was wondering if it was possible to come over on a Fiancee Visa and still continue to do freelance work for a firm out of the US? I only ask because I am aware that on a Fiancee Visa you are not allowed to work. (And question 6.17 on the VAF2: Will you or your sponsor receive income from any other sources, including friends and family? really freaks me out! :-\\\\) Now I understand that this no working policy probably only means in the UK?!, but what worries me is that my income taxes in the US last year required me to claim my income earned through this freelance work as if I had my own business and I had to pay self employment tax, etc., etc., etc... I would not consider myself to have my own business, yet I wondered if I would still be classified as self employed in the UK (even though none of my services would not be rendered to UK clients/firms) and thus be unable to work/ be "self employed" according to the US IRS classification, as this is prohibited on this sort of visa? I hope that this makes sense...Any comments would be much appreciated. Thanks!

The answer to that is NO, it means no working in the UK or for a US company in the US, as a freelancer or self empolyed. It means no working at all.
