@butterflyice @MindVoice being employed at a firm part-time on h1b is perfectly legal.

You can also find more on this on murthy.com.

The catch is however, such jobs are rare and very hard to come by. Part-time + WFH may be more appropriate with NGOs looking for niche skills with not much office presence needed.

 

You need to work full time at work location to show your competence,gain your employer's confidence to get wfh options.

 

@MindVoice
I think you're operating on a lot of assumptions and public opinion which are / maybe contrary to ground realities. There are several well-funded NGOs that offer decently paying part-time/full time jobs. These are often in the tech/ marketing / financial areas of their operations. One role for example, could be social media manager or expert. I have interviewed with some NGOs for such roles.

Secondly, this concept that one has to prove onself in a fulltime job until one qualifies for part-time is true only for jobs whose primary requirement is for full-time personnel. There are positions at some organizations, where due to budgetary constraints, full time positions cannot be supported. Also, in places like SF, telecommuting jobs are common due to distributed teams, limited office space or just liberal corporate policies.

Thirdly, positions with education institutions / research and non-profit organizations may be H1B exempt. Hence h1b lottery may not apply in such cases at all.

The only valid argument may be that such part-time H1 jobs also offering telecommuting, are not as plentiful as regular full-time day jobs - especially when they can find several qualified GC/US citizens for such jobs without the additional burden of h1b processing. One way to get around this may be that you volunteer your time for free, and then after establishing credibility you enquire about h1b hiring.

I agree with @butterflyice that H4 EAD may be your best bet to have the freedom to pursue a wide variety of jobs and work options.

I highly recommend that you do your own homework, either via a simple google search, or that you get on to some job boards doing a specific search for the kind of roles you are interested in. In the case of immigration queries please try murthy.com or immihelp forums where you can get accurate responses to your specific situation.

Your queries are a bit niche and I worry that with well-intentioned but half-baked /inaccurate responses on general forums such as IL you may end up arriving at faulty conclusions.
