  1. I would like to work part time 2-4 Saturdays or any off days during the week, is that possible on a concurrent visa? Yes, it is possible to work part time for a another H-1B employer through the filing of a concurrent H-1B petition.

  1. What are hourly restrictions on this part-time job, I work full time 36-40 hours a week. There are no specific hourly restrictions on the part-time job other than it must be under 35 hours per week to be considered part-time. The Department of Labor provides the following, “the employer is required to pay the hourly wage to the worker for the part-time hours specified each week. If the I-129 specifies a range of hours for part-time employment, the employer is required to pay the worker at least the average number of hours normally worked, provided the average is within the range indicated. The worker should not be paid for fewer than the minimum number of hours indicated for the range of part-time employment.” https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/68-h1b-fulltime-employee In order to ensure that you can successfully maintain your existing employment and the part-time concurrent employment, it is advisable that you schedule a consultation with an Immigration Lawyer at MVP Law Group.
