Hello
I have a H1B visa, working in US for a local company.
By H1B rules I am not allowed to have any other "source of income" besides my current employer.
Situation: my parents from my home country want to help me and send me some money.
Will this be considered as an "other income" or "source of income"?
I don't want to violate any H1B rules and be kicked out the US
Should I mention this money in my tax forms anywhere?
If I don't, won't it be easily traceable that I spent more money that I earned at my current company?
Thanks in advance
