Multiple H1B Processing...

[Abhi1712]

Hello Everybody:

Currently I am working with Company A on 17 month's OPT extension since last 5 months.

Status with Company A: Company A has filed my H1B petition(first time) on 2nd April, 2012.

Status with Company B: I got a job offer letter from Company B. I am willing to join Company B and Company B is willing to do H1B for me. Company B knew that I already filed H1B petition with Company A.

I do have following Questions:

At this stage I can NOT ask to delay my H1B petition with Company A. (I want to switch over job after at least 1 H1B in hand) At the same time Company B is asking me to send documents for H1B filing.

Before I take this decision to send documents to Company B , I have couple of questions for you.

IF

Case 1) Company A and B has filed my H1B petition and both are received by USCIS. Considering both are in process.

Q) Will this be an issue to get approval for either company? ( influencing each other petitions)

Case 2) Company A H1B has been approved.

Company B H1B application is in process

Q) Will my Company A approval will be cancelled? once USCIS receive Company B petition?

Case 3) Company B H1B has been approved ( due to premium processing)

Company A H1B application is in process ( due to regular processing)

Q) Will my company B approval will be cancelled? because company A application is coming later in process?

If yes, will we have a chance to cancel Company A application by contacting USCIS?

Regards,

Abhishek.

I hope they both are FT jobs and you are not joining some consultancy ?

I would suggest you to take free advice from CompanyB lawyer, if possible.

H-1b will be active from Oct 1 and even if you get approval for both the H-1b, its upto you which company you want to join, I guess.
