我当前持有H1b工作,有效期还有近3年;同时485 pending 近2.5年。最近朋友想让我帮他做一些part-time work;请问:
1)如果我想维持当前full-time工作,我该以何种身份去为朋友做part-time? 如果用EAD,我当前的h1b就自动失效了;如果transfer当前h1b,可能就无法用一个h1b做两份工作。
-Use EAD or ask your friend to apply for another part-time H1 for you.
2)能否让我朋友申请另外一个h1b,一个人可以同时使用两个h1b吗(一个fulltime,一个parttime)?
-Yes.
这样对pending 485有何影响?
-Nothing.
3)如果朋友的公司帮我申请一个parttime的h1b,以后如果我需要fulltime加入他的公司,需要重新申请新的h1b吗?
-Yes, your friend needs to file a H1 amendment to change the part time h1 to full time or file a new full time h1 for you and the job has to be in the same/similar area so that your I-485 will not be affected.
或需要update那个parttime的h1b吗?
敬请指教,不胜感激!
