Yes, u can go for a new H1B while ur previous visa application is pending admin processing. When u appear for a visa interview based on ur new H1B petition, just take a letter with u stating that u would like to withdraw the pending visa application. U do not even need to state this unless VO asks about ur pending application.

In most cases, VOs are aware that u have a pending visa application with them. I have seen cases where the VO asks about the pending application and i have also seen cases (including myself) where the VO didn'e ask anything about it.

@gcgc can you elaborate more on your second visa experience or give a link to where you posted your interview experience?

Thanks

When i emailed to chennai, for withdrawing petition, they asked me to come in person on this thursday,17th at 2.00PM. Please let me know if this is mandatory....
