Hi!, I am on H4 visa currently and I have applied for H1b visa this year. My employer is a for profit organisation. Since it would take until october 1st to receive an approval notice from USCIS, I would like to know whether it is legally acceptable to work with the organisation on a voluntary basis with out payment in any kind, just to gain experience between apr 1 and oct 1. thanks. regards Moideen

Be happy.

It is not illegal to volunteer your time on an H4 visa. The only thing you should realize is that even if/when you do receive the H1b visa, you will not be able to get paid retroactively (meaning you won't be able to get paid for the previous months that you volunteered).
