Immigration lo H4-EAD ni grilling

[11_MohanReddy]

** Awareness Post

I am currently on an H-1B visa, and my spouse has been on H4 EAD for the past five years. We recently traveled to India for a short trip, and upon our return to the U.S., we entered through Newark (EWR), New Jersey.

While my immigration process went smoothly, my spouse was subjected to additional questioning by the immigration officer. Specifically, spouse was asked about the multiple W-2s received over the past two years, as spouse had been working for two different employers. While working for multiple employers is “legally” permissible on H4 EAD, the officer questioned whether both employers were aware of spouse dual employment.

The situation escalated when the officer contacted the HR department of one of spouse employers. The HR representative stated that their company does not authorize such a dual employment setup. As a result, the officer gave my spouse two options:

1. Voluntarily return to home country upon cancelling visa and go through visa re-stamping

2. Face a potential ban for alleged unauthorized employment.

We have since consulted multiple immigration attorneys, including the reputed firms. They confirmed that this is not an isolated incident—over the past month, they’ve seen 3–4 similar cases where H4 EAD holders faced scrutiny at the port of entry for working multiple jobs and having multiple W2.

The key takeaway: Non immigrants including H4 should not assume that working for multiple employers is safe unless both employers are fully aware and explicitly approve of the arrangement.

Given the increasing scrutiny on various visa categories, including F1 and H4, it appears that enforcement and interpretation of immigration regulations are becoming stricter.

Please stay informed and consult an immigration attorney.

If this were a real incident, your primary concern would likely be about getting your wife to safety or understanding the visa implications  not analyzing what others took away from the situation.
