It depends on the type of visa you hold. F-1 visa dependents are not eligible for paid employment in the United States. If you have a J-2 visa, you are allowed to work for payment in the United States. Certain H-1B dependents, who hold H-4 type visas, have recently been granted permission to work in the United States.
