I’ve a question related to work visa. My spouse is currently holding H4 and valid Business (B2) visa. We’ve applied for his H4 EAD and waiting for it. My question is : Meanwhile can he work in US based on business visa ? His current i94 shows H4 entry though.

B1/2 can’t be used for paid work.

Legally, they cannot work in the US (physically present on US soil) even if the payment is done outside the US.

Rest is up to the individual to take the decision based on their best judgment.
