It is illegal. A H4 status person cannot work on any reason. He/She can do voluntary work which does not give any monetary benifit. Make sure that you dont submit any tax returns or the person paying you doesnot withhold any taxes. Also, do not give your DL number, SSN or your state id number anywhere. I would suggest you get your cheque's on your husbands name.

It will not affect. As a H1 employee, your husband can get some additional income and if he shows that in his tax returns, it will not harm anything. However, he should not work part time or full time for another employer. He should get another H1 processed for that. If he shows this as an additional income it is not an issue. Showing this as a part time job or a full time job will be an issue... Visit the forums on the net or ask a question in Murthy's site..
