work as a free lance programmer While on H1-B

[skyblue0248]

If u are on H-1B working for a company, can u work as a free lance programmer like a non-employee else where. For example some person asks u to do a small project and gives u $1000.00 for it, that kind of thing.

Thanks ****, Suppose I write some code and sell it to someone is it right if I am working on H1-B.

Thanks Joe,

What will happen if u write some code for a person and the other guy just gives u some money and u do not submit any 1099 form for it.

Thanks Joe,
Does the client give u an 1099. Is it like a w-2 form which u get from the employer at the end of the year.

[skyblue0248]

what will happen if u actually file the 1099 and show it as u'r income. as per the irs u are ok. Is it. But the problem is with the INS. Is it.

EAD and Employement
Is an employee whose H1-B1 is expired and is on valid EAD and
I-485 is in the process, work simultaneously for other companies on part time basis. If Yes, what type of payroll can he be.. W-2 or 1099 ?

Please advise

Can your Employer give you a 1099 instead of a W-2.

Any Info is Appreciated...

Thanks!
