Are we allowed to take part in user studies while on h1b visa? There are a few websites like respondent which connects participants and researchers. You are paid for your time via paypal or gift cards. They would probably send you a 1099 i guess and hence i am wondering if we are allowed to do this on visa?
No. It’s tied to your SSN. Don’t do it.
Many of those user studies are scams. The ones that are not will generate a 1099. It's not worth it.
