Question

I am trying to help somebody come to the US on an H2B visa. I was wondering if they can get a part time job at a second company when they get here? Or is there another law that says they can only work for the company listed on their visa?

Answer 1

They could work for another company part-time if that second company also submitted an I-129 to get the person classified as an H-2B to work for them.

An H-2B could work for three or more companies, but each company would have to submit a petition, and each petition would have to be approved.

Ordinarily, H-2B's work for only the company that petitioned for them, but other H-2B petitions coulds be approved, and as long as the approval of the petition did not involve a change of status to another nonimmigrant status, that would be fine.
