Working on H1B and EAD simultaneously for 2 weeks

[deepak118]

Hello every one,

Company XX sponsored my H1B and Green card - I got an EAD and I still work with company XX on H1B. I have an offer from Company YY and I plan to work on EAD. The new company would not start benifits till the first day of next month and I have a new born kid - so dont want to take the risk

Is it ok to be on the pay roll H1B for comapnyXX (The same company that sponsored my h1) on vacation and work for company YY on EAD for 2 weeks

Please let me know if this is ok


Thanks,
Deepak

Technically, once you use the EAD at the new company, you are no longer on H1b at your old company and have to use your EAD for the I9 form there at the old company. You can work on EAD for two employers at the same time but there is no possibility for a H1b/EAD combination.
