    Default H1b visa holder working a part-time side job

    Hi my friend is on an H1b visa and works full time for the employer who petitioned him. However, his weekends are always vacant so he intends to look for a part time job on a different employer on weekends. This will definitely wont have any complications with his fulltime job.
    My question is...is that legal? to have a part time job to a different employer.Will this not be audited in the income taxes by uscis or whoever?

    If he's taking part-time work not authorized by his visa, that can certainly create problems for him. If he's paying taxes through his part-time employer, it is highly likely that his side job will be detected. He should consult an immigration lawyer.
