Hi,
Please help..!
I am F1 graduate student came to US in Aug2007. I am a citizen of India. In Jan2008 I worked for around 20 hours on campus. But it was not really "on-campus" job. Actually there is an institute who works inside my university and I got check for that work with institutes name on it. Now I believe I will receive 1099 tax form for my that 20 hour work.
FYI: I did not violate 20/week work limit during that period.
My question is - I am not allowed to work off-campus until I complete my 9 months in US and is this work going to be off-campus work ? And also is working through 1099 allowed for my case ? Should I pay tax for that work next year ?
If it is illegal, how much its going to affect my H1-b or green card processing ?
From Feb2008 I am working for same institute but its on campus as I am now officially hired through university procedures.
Thank you for your help in advance.
