Legal Question in Immigration Law in California
Labor Certification
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am being petitioned right now as a Nurse by my employer as a Labor Certification recipient for my green card. I just want to ask if I can start a business on the side at the same time while I am being petitioned. Can I also earn income that way as a self-employed? And also the kind of business is different than what i am being petitioned for.
Thank you very much for all the responses.

Re: Labor Certification
Until you get your actuall Green Card you can not be self employed. Once your I-485/I-140 is approved you could start a business even if you don't have the actual approved green card.
