H1B Layoff and Transfer Question

[surajkandukuri]

I am currently on h1b visa with employer A and i have got a layoff date of april 6th and i have valid stamping of company A in my passport till feb 2021. I have 2 job offers from company B to put me a client X and Company C to put me at a client Y. Client X does not give client letter while Client Y gives client letter. Given that context, the question i have is - Can i file for h1b transfer to both company B and Company C at the same time ? what happens if Company C h1b transfer approves first and i want to join company B and vice-versa ? I am looking to internally transfer inside Company A and if i find a job internally and either company B or Company C h1b transfer is successful - do company A need to file for h1b transfer back to them ?

You can decide which one to work for if both are approved, order in which they are approved doesn't matter.

Techinically Yes, but it will depend on how long it takes too. Let your attorney make the call.

Can i file for h1b transfer to both company B and Company C at the same time ? --- Yes.

what happens if Company C h1b transfer approves first and i want to join company B and vice-versa ? By april 6th if B is approved you can join directly. After arpil 6th depending on your case either join C and jump to B else join B directly.

I am looking to internally transfer inside Company A and if i find a job internally and either company B or Company C h1b transfer is successful - do company A need to file for h1b transfer back to them ?---- depending at the moment sometimes yes. A can guide you.
