Consultation Policy

Employees on H-1B visas may be asked to consult or give lectures/speeches to other academic institutions or private employers.  These activities are not precluded by an H-1B if they are incidental to their employment and the employee does not receive a wage or salary, or any other monetary or material gain for his/her services.  The employee may be reimbursed for transportation and reasonable, incidental living expenses.
