Volunteer Work at Library or any other organization without pay.

Hi,

I have a question. My wife is currently waiting to file for family based GC. In the mean time she wants to Volunteer at a public library or any other organization without pay, just to kill time. Will this be a problem when it comes to getting her GC?

Volunteer work is not considered to be "Gainfully Employed" and has no immigration consequence.

In the mean time she wants to Volunteer at a public library or any other organization without pay, just to kill time. Will this be a problem when it comes to getting her GC? Is she volunteering in a position where other people in the organization are paid?

Is she volunteering in a position where other people in the organization are paid? She hasnt found a place yet, but it would be a volunteer organization or Library that requires Volunteers. But there may be people in those organizations that get paid to work as well.
