Moving from UK to US on L2 visa. Can I finish an ongoing freelance project for UK company whilst waiting for EAD?

My partner (L1 visa) and I (L2) were due to be moving from UK to New York in March or April 2022. This has been brought forward and is now likely to be early January.

I am aware I cannot work in the US until I have my EAD, which could take months to be approved.

I have been doing some freelance work for a UK company and now we are moving earlier than anticipated, I would not be able to finish it before the move.

Am I legally allowed to carry on that work from New York whilst waiting for my EAD?

Has anyone been in a similar situation?

If allowed, they would pay me any remaining money for the project to my existing UK bank account.

I have researched online but am struggling to find an example of someone in my situation.

Once that project is over, I would not be working - then would look to freelance in New York once my EAD arrives.

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
