Question ID: 579771
I'm on L1 Visa ( Intra company transfer) and petition valid till 2007.
I work Full time (Regular hours) for my L1 sponsoring company.

Since L1 is a work permit, attached with the constraint to serve the
sponsoring company, I wish to know if I could take PART TIME jobs with
other employer besides this regular job.

As I continue working full time with sponsoring employer, I fulfill
the requirement of L1 visa. IS IT LEGAL?

Howdy vipulgupta-ga,

A reminder of the "Important Disclaimer: Answers and comments provided on

From my reading of the following referenced document, what you outline would
not be legal.  Title 8 of Code of Federal Regulations (8 CFR)/8 CFR Part 274a
covers your situation.

"Sec. 274a.12 Classes of aliens authorized to accept employment."
http://uscis.gov/lpBin/lpext.dll/inserts/slb/slb-1/slb-10281/slb-27197/slb-27679

"(b) Aliens authorized for employment with a specific employer incident to
status. The following classes of nonimmigrant aliens are authorized to be
employed in the United States by the specific employer and subject to the
restrictions described in the section(s) of this chapter indicated as a
condition of their admission in, or subsequent change to, such classification.
An alien in one of these classes is not issued an employment authorization
document by the Service:
...
(12) An intra-company transferee (L-1) ... An alien in this status may be
employed only by the petitioner through whom the status was obtained ..."

If you need any clarification, please feel free to ask.
