'If his wife needs help...': Major row over Indian H-1B techie 'working' in food truck in Texas

A controversy has erupted in Texas over an Indian national on an H-1B visa who was allegedly working at a food truck. The man, whose identity has not been disclosed, was reportedly spotted operating the food truck, raising questions about compliance with visa regulations.

Under U.S. immigration law, H-1B visa holders are permitted to work only for the employer who sponsored their visa. Any other employment, including self-employment or work in a separate business, is generally prohibited unless authorized by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

The incident came to light after a social media post showed the man working at the food truck, prompting criticism and calls for investigation. Some commenters questioned whether the work violated the terms of his visa, while others expressed sympathy, noting the financial pressures faced by many visa holders.

No official statement has been issued by immigration authorities regarding the case. The man's employer and the food truck's ownership have not been identified publicly.
