hi everyone, i have two questions

1. could i apply for a work permit having a NON O visa based on marriage with my husband who works here.

2. If my husband works for his own company I am the wife with NON O visa following his visa. would I be "tolerated" if I worked with him without a work permit?

Thanks in advance...

Question 1 = NO, you can't hold a work permit on a "trailing spouse" visa/extension <- one based on marriage to another foreigner who legally works here
