H1B / OPT-EAD - 2 jobs questions

Sep 9, 2021 6 Comments

I have been doing 2 jobs with 2 different employers (company A and B) on OPT-STEM EAD(perfectly legal and approved by college DSO). My H1B got picked by company A and H1B application has been submitted. I am still continuing my job with company B. What would happen when my H1B is approved?

    Did not even know this could be done. Sorry I don't have much to offer.

    Illegal to work for 2 employers while on OPT, illegal to work for 2 employers while on H1B or any other working visa. For example, I am on an O1 visa, i founded my own company and work for another at the same time. While I am allowed to start my own company I can't work for it, let alone for a third.

    Isnโ€™t the STEM EAD tied to a company? How are you doing two jobs?

    Once h1 is approved you cannot work at two places unless second employer is willing to file amendment for concurrent work or something like that
