Is it legal to get 2 separate companies to file for H1B for same employee?

[kallumama]

I am currently living in India and have 2 job offers from 2 separate companies in USA. Is it legal to ask both of them to file for my H1B visa? Will USCIS dismiss the petitions if it sees 2 different employers trying to sponsor the same candidate?

I have heard that this year visas would be filled up in the first week of April itself so having both companies file for me would increase my chances of getting at least 1 H1B approved.

Multiple H1b petitions from different employers is perfectly Ok. All H1b petitions are mutually exclusive.

As far as people have suggested me, I think it should be OK

Yes, in general, multiple employers may file an H1B petition for the same individual.
