Part time masters while on H1b doing J1 waiver job

[Nash83]

Hello all,

I would like to know if it is legally permissible to do a part time masters while I am currently on a h1b visa doing j1 waiver job. I have a contract of 3 yrs, have completed one year and live in New York NY.

 

Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated. Thanks so much!

Once you have a H-1B for your J-1 waiver, and assuming it is cap exempt, you can take another job on an additional H-1B. That part-time or additional job DOES NOT HAVE to be in underserved area or for underserved population, and actually can be anything including clinical research, outpatient clinic or as a consultant. THe only requirement is that it has to be approved by your current empoyer for no conflict of interest.

Hope this helps.
