Hi,
I'm due for a 2nd FP next week for my March 2002 RD case.
Currently I'm working for my original sponsor on H1B. I also have a valid EAD.
I've an excellent offer from another company but they need me urgently and they are willing to do only a temp to hire position due to their long HR process (its a typical big company). I could be contracting for a couple of months before I become full time. I'm willing to take a calculated risk as I'm not willing to let this offer go.
The questions to experts are :-
1) Can I work on a 1099 directly with them on my EAD ? I know technically I can but what do I show in the case if I get an employment RFE ? I've seen conflicting opinion but the nays have not been able to support their opinion by citing any INS decision or document. In fact the RFE often asks for "W2/1099" . What are the members opinion or can anybody point me to successful or denied cases based on this ?
2) If the above is not an option I can always involve a consulting company and get regular paystubs/W2 by giving them a cut. Will this be a more acceptable position to INS for paystubs and company letter etc ?
Any inputs will be welcome.
Thanks in advance.
