Part time 20 hrs/week on H1b

[CaliHoneB]

Hi,
I am wondering if anybody had done this before: I want to work part time (20 hrs/week) for 6 months( and no other job). I am on H1 but I also have EAD. So I am wondering if there are any implications to this such as I need to amend my H1b , because of some obscure law my GC process will be affected. Any input is appreciated.



Thanks in advance

I had a friend in the same situation. Had H1 and EAD. He worked halftime for two years to finish his MBA. Now went back to fulltime H1. I think your company has to approve it and yes he filed ammendment.

Thanks for the info. I am in the process of asking for approval from my company and I don't anticipate major problems.
So far other than H1b amendment I don't see any other actions I need to take. If anybody can think of anything else please reply to this post.


Thanks.

I am working on EAD and want to work 20 hrs. What is the risk involved in I-485 processing? Thanks in advance for any light.
