A:
On an F-2 visa, you are not permitted to engage in any form of employment, including selling items for profit. This visa is specifically for dependents of F-1 visa holders and does not allow for any work, either for an employer or through self-employment.
If you wish to earn money or start a business, you would need to explore other visa options that permit employment. Engaging in unauthorized work could jeopardize your visa status and affect your ability to remain in the United States.
To ensure you comply with immigration laws, it might be a good idea to consult with an immigration attorney who can provide guidance based on your specific circumstances and help you understand your options.
