Part Time Position at School with H1b Visa from Current Employer
I have H1B with my full time employer. PERM/I-140 approved. Waiting for priority date to become current to move forward with green card process. I'm going to grad school at night. Can I accept a Teaching Assistant position at the same school where I am doing my grad studies? This position will not require half day of work... Probably 1 hour per day or so. Will this create issues with my current imigration processes? It is paid small fee...
Re: Part Time Position at School with H1b Visa from Current Employer
Any work with an additional employer requires work authorization. Illegal work is a serious problem for any immigration processing. Do not do it.
It is doubtful that the school would file an H-1B petition for a TA/RA. These are generally more than a 1 hour per day time commitments as well. Have you been totally honest with the school about your immigration status? I suspect you have not, because no one I know at a university would make this time of offer for 5 hours a week of work from a TA/RA.
