Concurrent H1B for Part time job

[priti1911]

Hi,

I am working for company X as a full time employee on H1B visa. They have filed my green card and my I-140 has been improved. Company Y to hire me as a part time on W2 but I need to work as and when required. So sometime I have to work 20-3- hours in a week and sometime, I will not have work for months. I can work from home too during off hours. Company Y is going to file concurrent H1B. I have few questions regarding my visa:

1) Will it affect my current full time H1B with Company X

2) Will it affect my green card process

3) is it ok if I don't work for months for company Y without affecting Company Y's H1B

4) If I get new I-94 through company Y, will it affect my current status?

5) Will company X know about H1B filed by Company Y?


Quick reply would be appreciated as I need to decide in couple of days.

Thank a lot sir for posting it on your forum. I saw your comment - "It is not likely to work". What does that mean? Employer is not filing concurrent H1B as seasonal work but they are going to file as "20 hours a week" work but is it ok if I don't work for few weeks or months for them (or they don't have work for me for weeks/months)?
