rajuvamsi007 Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Hello All, Let's say a spouse starts a new company under her H4 EAD. Can the husband provide contracting services under this new company? I understand that the H1 employee can only work for one company. So is it legally possible for the husband to work extra time and provides services under the name of the Spouse's Company?? My understanding is that the H1 holder will not be paid for the services but the H4 EAD company holder will be actually paid for services provided under her name. What are the potential problems with such a setup?? Link to comment
JoeF Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 You can not do that. It would be illegal work. Link to comment
rajuvamsi007 Posted June 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 I understand that it is illegal to work a second job while H1b. However, if the spouse's company is getting paid and the spouse is "actually delivering the service" without mention of any one else's name on the company invoice.... that would be legal right? Otherwise, how is it different from helping the spouse to perform the actual job on the employee's own time?? Just wondering... Link to comment
JoeF Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 It would be fraud, plain and simple. You can NOT do that. Period. And you can not help your spouse performing the job, either. Link to comment

How would govt know that you're working/helping your spouse at work? Link to comment
JoeF Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Honestly speaking, that is legal. How would govt know that you're working/helping your spouse at work? From the spouse, or other people he works with. The IRS's best helpers are disgruntled spouses during divorces... In other words, this opens him up to lifelong blackmail. There is always somebody who knows. It is fraud, plain and simple. Link to comment
