MyDearLeo2 Posted June 30, 2023 Report Share Posted June 30, 2023 Hi Experts, Is it possible to use valid H1B for primary job and 485-EAD for part-time job? Awaiting for reply. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 No. Once you use the EAD you cease being on H1. Quote Link to comment
Zodiac System Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) You can be on only one status at a given time. You can switch to EAD and have multiple jobs. There are no restrictions to jobs on EAD, however H1b as a backup is highly recommended. Good Luck. Edited July 6, 2023 by Zodiac System Quote Link to comment
MyDearLeo2 Posted July 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Thanks for your feedback. But I had checked with one of an immigration attorney and he mentioned that I can use H1B for my primary job and EAD for secondary. I just wanted to reconfirm this in this forum of experts.

MyDearLeo2 Posted July 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 Please ignore my above comment. As per USCIS (https://www.dhs.gov/immigration-statistics/nonimmigrant/NonimmigrantCOA) or US travel site, EAD is not a status. In this case, I can follow the H1B guidelines to work on H1B sponsered work during week days and work on EAD on weekend jobs right? Please let me know on the same. Quote Link to comment
