I am unable to reach BCIS (formerly known as INS!). Does anyone know if an individual with R-1 status (religious worker) can work at any other type employment without additional BCIS approval? BCIS website refers to working for another religious denomination but doesn't refer to secular work. HELP

    I don't know the answer. But, I cannot imagine that a person who is allowed to work on a 'religious' visa could quit that and work in a secular institution. Can you? Otherwise, why would the religious permit have been issued? Just wondering.
