My visa is issued for one business(employer), my boss has two businesses, I work at both, but I'm only issued a visa from the one company. Is that legal?
It may not be legal, as H2A visas tie you to the employer petitioning for you. You should only work for that employer. Consult an immigration attorney for specifics.
