Larry L. Doan, an immigrant originally from Vietnam, sought refuge from the communist regime and arrived in the United States at the age of 10. Growing up in California, he identified himself as a devoted "math and science nerd." Despite initially pursuing a career as an engineer in the defense industry, Larry found it lacking in fulfillment. Opting for a career change, he transitioned to law and discovered the profound satisfaction of practicing immigration law. Drawing from his personal journey, Larry now positively impacts the lives of numerous immigrants.
During his leisure time, Larry relishes moments with his partner and their seven-year-old son. He also indulges in outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, and beach outings, eagerly exploring the diverse parks and natural wonders that Florida has to offer.

- Q. Can a person on H1b accept an consulting/advisory role for other company that is not their H1b sponsor.
- A: You're not allowed to engage in any other employment on the H-1B visa besides your job with the H-1B petitioner. So, consulting on the side while being paid would most likely be construed as engaging in additional employment.
If there's no fee charged whatsover, then I don't see a problem with that, as one is allowed to share their knowledge freely as part of freedom of speech.
