HI friends,
I'm looking for a volunteer work as a DA, my visa does not let me work in us( I have some dependent visa) by the way, can I work as a volunteer with this kind of visa?
thanks

Yes you can go to a clinic just to observe but can't work.

I was in the same boat. I visit a clinic few days in the mnth as an observer. This will just add to your resume that you are not sitting free but trying your best to keep in touch with your profession.

You could also volunteer to work as a DA in setups that permit u... or sum community dental centers around ur place...

Edit - Your dependent visa just doesnt let u get paid. It doesnt stop u from working for free... And lack of DDS stops u from working on patients - so you can " volunteer " in back office nd front office at clinics ..

thanks

Front: receptionist, billing...
Back: sterilization, dental lab (maybe).....

You choose one of those, I will opt for the middle part of the dental office!
