Working Part-time with H1B visa

[cdave3196@gmail.com]

Hi -

I am wondering if someone can work only part time (20 hours) while on H1B visa. I want to take care of my kids and other family reasons, I want to work only part time. Can I legally work part-time while being on H1B?

Thank you.

Yes, an employer can file part-time H1b. Part-time H1b is defined are as anything less than 35 hrs/ week.

Your employer will need to file an amended petition specifying the part-time hours.
