JoeF Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Even though it is legal, it won't increase your chances. In fact, it may decrease your chances, because USCIS sends out RFEs and audits for such cases, due to suspicion of foul play, like the employee paying for the H1s, which is illegal. The best course of action is to commit to ONE employer. Link to comment

And if it is not confirmed as facts, don't advocate the same theory again and again, that lottery doesn't increase the chances and don't mislead people. Harsha, Please refer to below thread http://forum.murthy.com/index.php?/topic/70947-multile-h1-for-h4/ Link to comment
JoeF Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Do you have the statement copy pasted on your clipboard ??? It is a valid statement. Multiple H1s do not increase the chances, they decrease the chances, due to RFEs and audits. The best course of action is to stick to one employer. Link to comment
ImmigrationH1B Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Yes last time one of friend got rfe's as he applied with two different employer one as internal employer asking how he got offer with other employer Link to comment
rahul412 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Yes last time one of friend got rfe's as he applied with two different employer one as internal employer asking how he got offer with other employer And when the employer knows that employee has another offer, he will not respond to that RFE and that H1 will be rejected. So its always better to go with one employer and avoid trouble. Link to comment
mba83 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 This is the post from some other forum which clearly states that it is legal and it increase your chances in lottery: "My H1b visa application was filed from 2 different employers in same year (2006) and one petition (US based Desi consulting) was approved and other one (Indian based top 3 services company) not selected based on lottery system. I have been in US since 2007. Good luck." Link to comment

Second, USCIS has stated that they identify duplicate filings before the lottery. That implies that such duplicate filings are only counted as one. Link to comment
simk Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 And when the employer knows that employee has another offer, he will not respond to that RFE and that H1 will be rejected. So its always better to go with one employer and avoid trouble. What is the need for USCIS to let Employers know that beneficiary has filed for multiple H1B. Isn't it the privacy violation to tell another one employer about other? If they have any doubts, whether it is a valid petition or not.. then they should raise an RFE and visit the employer location to check, whether the project they claim, exists or not.. (I have seen many client visits for many of my friends ) but doesn't make sense that RFE will be about multiple filing... What is their agenda with the RFE...??? I raised a service ticket for one of my cases, and the USCIS said that, I am not the correct person to disclose the information..My lawyer, who prepared the case should contact them. Based on their reply.. I don't think they will disclose one case's details to other case people... It would be violation of privacy and other confidentiality acts... Link to comment

How is it duplicate filings, if it from different employers.. Another thing is Ur word is also like some other forum, Why should we believe you? do you work for USCIS? IF not then please stop self proclaimed theories. Attorney itself confirmed that no one knows, what happens in Lottery.. Then who are you, to state this as fact? Link to comment

USCIS won't disclose the info about the employers. But might say that "we got two petitions for an employee and we need some info....." Just think practically, at any given point a person can' work for two employers so obviously USCIS wants to know info about these two employers. Since their is a lot of abuse of H1 program they want to know information like how they hired this person etc.... If both the employments are genuine then both should get approved. Link to comment
JoeF Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yes, I saw this post too.. but it was way back in 2006... Ahh, the plot thickens. Thank you. It is amazing what some people omit to "prove" something... The Federal Register document that I have been quoting from is from 2011. And I've stated that lots of times... The bottom line doesn't change: multiple applications do not increase the chances. Link to comment

JoeF Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 I also got reply from some of very senior immigration attorneys saying: filing multiple petitions will increase your chances. No, you didn't. I got a reply from the US President that filing multiple petitions will not increase the chances... Geez, to what length some people go to try to justify their actions... Even lies about "some very senior attorneys"... Link to comment

I am not trying to prove anything.. unlike you.. we are just leaving some things to ambiguity.. when no one knows.. who are you to say that we are doing wrong ?? Link to comment
