A foreign worker in the U.S. faces potential visa complications after unknowingly holding two full-time jobs for three weeks while transitioning from STEM OPT (Optional Practical Training) to H-1B status. The confusion arose as one employer sponsored the H-1B, while the other continued to pay the worker. This overlap could be seen as unauthorized work, potentially jeopardizing the worker’s immigration status. Legal advice is essential for navigating such transitions and avoiding future complications.
