H-1B Employment Eligibility
Contractors are responsible for ensuring that their existing H-1B status allows for independent contractor work, and for verifying any limitations with their immigration attorney or employer sponsor.In most cases, individuals on H-1B visas are not authorized to work for any entity other than their sponsoring employer, even as independent contractors. Please consult a qualified legal professional to ensure compliance.
H-4 Dependent Visas
If you are in the U.S. as a dependent of an H-1B visa holder (H-4 status), you may be eligible to work only if you have received an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). We can engage with H-4 EAD holders as independent contractors, but:- We will not assist in the EAD application process

- You are responsible for maintaining valid authorization and ensuring your work remains within the scope of your EAD
