AWARENESS POST

[raghuraj]

 

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.

IRS varaku correct. But she breached labor law related to confidentiality, proprietary agreement and non compliance. Prati employment offer lo Idhi untadhi.: which is actually an offense. But manam goats kadha, pakodu cheysthunadu, tesla kontunadu, 2nd home konnadu, why can’t I ani thinking:: US lo 50% vallaki rules theliyav, chepithae jealousy antaru. and most are of dorikinappudu chuddham ani denial mode lo untaru.. bad luck enti antae 1 in 1000 mathrmae dorkutharu and ah okati evaru anedhi dorikithae kani teliyadu.. and life Motham regret avutharu..

THIS

ee point mana edhavalu convenient ga ignore chestharu…  without employer’s consent there can’t be more than one “FULL TIME” job at a time… its a form of cheating and must be punished.

Endi ❤️ da logic. They can have two W2s as long as one is day time and other is not interfering with day work. Also needs to be approved by both employers. So illegal and unethical
