Immigration attorney Sophie Alcorn has answered a question from a reader on whether they need two visas to work at two technology startups. The reader, who is currently on an H-1B visa, wants to keep their options open and work at both companies simultaneously. Alcorn explained that a work visa is tied to a specific job and employer, while a work permit is more flexible and can enable entrepreneurs more freedom to work for themselves. Alcorn said the reader can transfer their H-1B visa from their current employer to another, and they can hold multiple H-1Bs from different employers at the same time. However, Alcorn warned that H-1B transfers and concurrent H-1Bs can be difficult for early-stage startups to navigate. She advised working with both a corporate attorney and an immigration attorney.
