I think that there shouldn't be anything wrong with holding 2 visas for 2 different pieces of work in the US, should there? (Aside from the fact that it's a heck of a lot of work to be doing! )
The H1B would be for my primary employer who sponsored me a while back. The TN is a thought I'm having related to allowing for some part-time, side-work. It would be self-employment, too, for an LLC I would form (since H-1B holders CAN own companies). It seems that TN in that case should be much easier to obtain than H-1B, as there is no requirement for the high level of labor documentation. I would seemingly need to have a position for myself and note that it requires a baccularate degree.
Is this a reasonable approach to ensuring I have "work authorization" for both pieces of work? Has anyone else been masochistic enough to pursue this? (I can imagine some Canadian consultants who have business "back home" but also working in the US might need something like this.)
(P.S. I would certainly not try this without solid legal guidance!)
