Licensure requirements in Oregon

If you are coming on a dependent visa, then chances are that you are not going to be able to work under that visa. Unless it is a green card, then you are not going to be able to work.

If an H1-B visa that he is going to be under, then you will be under the H-4 visa and unable to work here. The US is under a retrogression and there are no visas for you to adjust to when you get here.

Which visa will you be on before you do a thing is going to be the most important for you to know. Dependent visa alone does not tell us anything.

One thing I want to add here. If you do discover that your visa does not allow you to work and instead you will have to wait for an employment-permissible visa. Do not fall for the traps that some immigrants have been victimized by. That is, companies willing to hire you "in waiting" for your visa. They pay you less than you should earn and often treat you poorly. Then if you complain? They suddenly turn on you and inform INS that you scammed them about your immigration status. This leaves you with a massive problem as you would most likely be deported and ineligible for immigration to the USA in the future.

I'm sick to say that this does happen in the USA and too many immigrants are victimized by it. Don't let it happen to you. If you need to earn an income while waiting for your visa to allow work legally then set up an in-home business (check with local laws to see what is permitted in the city/county/state of residence) and bear through it until the immigration process is complete.

I know it is frustrating, I had to do it on my end here in the Philippines and it was stressful and difficult, but in the end it is worth the effort.
