h1b landlords
chat gpt have this one: Here’s the key U.S. government language you can point to regarding H-1B work authorization and limitations — including how that applies to activities like managing property. 📌 1. USCIS Stipulates H-1B Work Authorization Is Limited On the official USCIS H-1B Specialty Occupations page, the agency states the central rule for H-1B status: H-1B classification allows a foreign national to come to the United States to perform services in a specialty occupation — that is, work for the employer who sponsored the H-1B petition, in the specific job role described in that petition. This implies that any employment or work performed outside that approved role is unauthorized, unless separately authorized. 📌 2. USCIS Policy Manual Defines Unauthorized Employment In the USCIS Policy Manual, “unauthorized employment” is defined broadly: Unauthorized employment is any service or labor performed for an employer in the United States by an alien who is not authorized by the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) or USCIS to accept employment or who exceeds the scope of that employment authorization. This covers any work, whether paid or unpaid, that is outside your H-1B job duties. 📌 3. What the Government Does Not Explicitly Spell Out — But Is Interpreted USCIS does not have a specific page that literally says “H-1B holders may not manage rental property.” However: The rule that you may only work in the position authorized by your H-1B has been consistently applied by immigration practitioners and on immigration forums. That interpretation means that active property management activities — like showing units, collecting rent, making repairs, screening tenants — can be viewed as unauthorized work, because they constitute services or labor outside your H-1B employment. This interpretation is endorsed by immigration attorneys and legal commentary. Several immigration law FAQs explain that for H-1B holders you may receive passive income, such as rent, so long as you do not personally engage in active work related to that income. So the relevant government rule you can cite is: 📌 “You may work only in the job described in your H-1B petition; other unauthorized work is prohibited.” This is found on the USCIS H-1B page: 👉 USCIS — H-1B Specialty Occupations: “This nonimmigrant classification applies to people who wish to perform services in a specialty occupation…” And the USCIS definition of unauthorized employment in the Policy Manual: 👉 USCIS Policy Manual — Unauthorized Employment: “Unauthorized employment is any service or labor performed … without authorization…” 📌 Conclusion — How This Applies to Managing Property Based on USCIS’s definitions: Owning property and receiving rental income is not prohibited because it doesn’t involve employment for someone else. (Passive investment.) Actively managing property — doing tasks people commonly associate with a job — can be interpreted by USCIS as unauthorized employment because it is labor performed by you outside your H-1B authorized job role. 🙋♂️ If You Need Links Here are direct USCIS sources you can review: 📄 USCIS H-1B Specialty Occupations (official overview) — outlines the scope of allowed work: https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/h-1b-specialty-occupations 📄 USCIS Policy Manual — Unauthorized Employment (definitions & scope) — explains what unauthorized employment means: https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-7-part-b-chapter-6 -
