A person with h1b have full-time job in A company. Is he allowed to work part-time for company B as contractor and file 1099 (W-9) to pay the tax?

Note that this is actually a LEGAL queston, best posted in the LAW forum under Immigration Law, and I am NOT an attorney.
That said...
No, he is NOT permitted to work as a contractor under IRS Form 1099-MISC.
This is a serious violation of the provisions of the H-1B visa and could result in revocation of that visa.
