Legal Question in Immigration Law in Ohio

I know a person who is trying to obtain his green card and is currently an applicant for an I - 485. His application for I-140 was most recently accepted, and he is waiting to receive his green card

He is sponsored by the company he works for. I have learned that he cannot earn income from other sources of employment, other than the company that is sponsoring him. Is this correct?

if this is correct, is there another way we can partner that will not interfere with his immigration process?

If the applicant has a valid work permit, he/she can work for the company other than his H-1B sponsor (assuming that he/she is in H-1B status).

We suggest you to consult with an immigration attorney.
