Re: G1 Visa Dependent


Thank You for the reply but the website you use does not offer enought
detail on the situation. My original thread outlines the problem I
have but here it is in more detail.
Host Country Affairs

Employment Authorization Program


Although employees of the United Nations system and the Permanent
Missions accredited to the United Nations may not accept paid
employment in the host country, certain family members of some of
these employees may be authorized to accept employment in the private
economy of the United States under certain circumstances.

Dependent spouses of United Nations employees on G-4 visas may gain
authorization to accept employment in the United States provided they
are offered a specific skilled or professional level job. Dependent
children under 23 years of age who attend school or university on a
full time basis, and dependent children over the age of 23 who are
disabled and therefore unable to support themselves independently, may
be given authorization to accept a part-time skilled or unskilled job
once a job offer has been secured. Dependents of United Nations
employees interested in pursuing employment in the United States
should contact the Office of the United Nations Staff Counsellor.


Employment of dependent spouses and children of members of the
Permanent Missions may be granted if the sending state has signed a
Bilateral Work Agreement with the United States, or if a de facto
reciprocal employment arrangement is in place. As of May, 2000,
Bilateral Work Agreements had been signed with 82 member states, and
reciprocal arrangements were in place with 53 additional member
states. Although the provisions of the agreements and arrangements
vary by country, dependent spouses (regardless of their own
nationality), full-time student children under 23, and children over
23 who are disabled from missions whose governments have signed a
bilateral agreement are generally able to gain authorization to accept
any job they are able to find, although children may only accept part-
time employment. Spouses (regardless of nationality) of employees of
missions with de facto agreements in place are generally able to gain
employment authorization to accept a skilled or professional-level job
once a specific job offer has been secured. Dependent children under
23 who are full-time students, and disabled dependent children of any
age from missions with de facto arrangements are normally able to gain
authorization to accept part-time skilled or unskilled work with a
specific job offer. In the case of de facto arrangements, employment
is limited to dependents of nationals of the country represented.

Individuals from Permanent Missions who are interested in securing
authorization to work in the United States are advised to contact the
administrative officers at their missions. They may also contact the
United States Mission's Office of Host Country Affairs.

Individuals who have been granted authorization to work in the United
States lose any immunity from criminal, civil, or administrative
jurisdiction they may enjoy with respect to specific actions arising
from that employment, although their immunity continues in all other
respects. Such individuals are also required to pay federal and state
income taxes on any income so earned

I have been here since 1996, I will be graduating college at age
21, so I will be able to live here until I am 23 but not work
because I have no more full time education. What options do I have
for staying here??

Sorry cannot help but doesn't the UN have an office that deals with and
advises on this kind of situation? I imagine this would be something
that affects a lot of their employees' dependents.
