H1B Transfer

[MAV8989]

Hi, 

I am  on H1B visa working for a company B that recently transferred my visa. My previous employer "company A" (who I was working with for last 5 years) would like me to work for them on the weekends to support their operations. Is that allowed? if Yes, would the company A need to file any amendment for me to work part-time? What are the things I should be mindful of?  My intention here is to ensure I am following all the rules set up by USCIS.

Appreciate your insights.

Best,

M

They will have to file a petition for concurrent H1 so that you can do 2 jobs.

I have a similar issue right now.

Company A filed my H1-B on April, 2018 which got approved in December, 2018.

1. I entered US in month of October, 2018 on L2 visa and got my L2- EAD. Hence, I never triggered the H1-B visa neither I worked with Company A
2. Then I started my job with Company B On L2EAD in the month of Jan, 2019.

my EAD has expired now. Now, I would like to move to H1B using the approved petition from Company A so that I can work for a new company C. 

I . If yes, then do I really need paycheck from petitioner company who applied for my H1B (company A in this case) to get visa approved for  a new petition ?

If yes, then do I really need paycheck from petitioner company who applied for my H1B (company A in this case) to get visa approved ? I never was on H1B status and hence it makes sense that I don’t have paycheck from them.

Not sure how you are in the same situation as the above OP. 

You can't use the H1 as it was never activated. You will have to go thorugh the lottery again.
