I got my EAD 2 months ago and am still working for my employer with whom i have my H1. Right now, i have an opportunity to work part time for a short period of time for another consulting company. This is in addition to my current full time job with my present employer. Is this legal? Can i work extra for another consulting company using my EAD while maintaining my H1B status with my present employer? Please advice. Thanks for your time.

It is legal from immigration point of view. However, you would have to switch to EAD with all employers. You will be a parolee than on H1b if you did so.
I am not a lawyer and you need to consult with one to validate any info posted on the forum and discuss your case specifics. H1b Question? Read the FAQ first.http://www.immihelp.com/visas/h1b/h1-visa-faq.html
