Thanks so much man! I got another tricky one. I had an OPT (optional practical training) application rejected while I was on F1 visa in the US because I did not complete the application by the deadline. Does this fall under any of the statutory questions? Is OPT considered a "permit", because one of the statutory questions involves both visas and permitsIf you are an independent contractor, you are self employed. As per definition an independent contractor is not an employee. You will have to put the city and country where you work.
