    Note that this is actually a LEGAL queston, best posted in the LAW forum under Immigration Law, and I am NOT an attorney.

    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.
