Can I work from home in US while on India payroll for 3-4 months?

Can I work from home in US while on India payroll for 3-4 months? My wife’s L1 VISA has been approved. My L2 EAD expired in July and is under process; I am off US payroll since the VISA / EAD expiry and my employer is willing to move me to it’s India payroll temporarily till the US VISA/EAD is approved.

You cannot legally work (irrespective of the payment in other country) as long as you are physically present in the USA without the approved L2 EAD.

Thanks for the response…What if I also have a valid B1/B2 Visa?
