Re: Can I work for 2nd company on W2 with EAD

If you worked for a company without authorization, it might be considered as unauthorizaed employment as an immigration violation.

Re: Can I work for 2nd company on W2 with EAD

I am not clear from your inquiry if you have worked without authorization from your current h-1b employer, or if you have worked without authorization to do so under immigration laws. Please email me directly if you would like to clarify.

Re: Can I work for 2nd company on W2 with EAD

You really should consult an Immigration Attorney. Please send me an email if in Southern California with your contact information and we can discuss your particular facts. There is no fee for consultation.

You may legally work with a second company as long as you have a valid EAD. You will be required, however, to show that you intend to continue full-time employment with the company sponsoring you for your green card.

If you worked for a company that was not your H-1B sponsor and before you had an EAD, you will be found to have violated your H-1B status and will be ineligible for adjustment of status if such violation occurred for an aggregate period of 180 days or more.
