I'm sure my questions will be along similar lines in the next few months as I wait for the NOA2, but if my fiance wanted to work in an unpaid internship in his field (electronic engineering) while he waited for the work permission, is that legal provided they're not paying him? It would be a great way to keep him busy, make him feel active and involved, and have him start building connections.
