Yes, it is possible to work for multiple employers on an H-1B visa, but each employer must file a separate H-1B petition on your behalf. This arrangement is known as “concurrent H-1B employment.” You are only authorized to work for the employers who have received approval for your H-1B petition. Working for an employer who has not filed a petition for you would be a violation of your visa status.

H-1B visa holders may work for more than one employer, provided that every employer files an H-1B petition with USCIS. This is called concurrent employment. Each petition must independently establish that the job qualifies as a specialty occupation and that the worker meets the qualifications. You cannot legally begin working for the second employer until USCIS has received or approved the concurrent H-1B petition.

Yes, you can hold multiple jobs under H-1B status, but the process requires careful planning. Each employer that wishes to hire you must submit its own H-1B petition. You may only start working with the additional employer once USCIS has confirmed receipt of the new petition or granted approval. This ensures that every position you hold complies with H-1B requirements, such as specialty occupation standards and prevailing wage obligations.
