Q: I have F-1 visa. I volunteer to assist the court to interpret to another language(Rare), Am I qualifiy for a green card?
The court needs assistance to interpret English to another language because the language is rare in the area and no interpreter available in NY state. I am the only one who knows the language very well. The court cannot provide payment to me because I hold F-1 visa which why I am not allowed to work and get paid off campus. Is it possible to change my nonimmigrant status or am I qualified for a green card?
A: You should repost your question as an immigration law question. Not that many of us employment lawyers handle immigration law. But all immigration lawyers will know about who is authorized to work where and when. Then if an issue concerns employment laws which affect all workers ask us. Good luck.
