H1b multiple applications...

[vpreddy2003]

Hi,

I have couple of questions on the multiple applications filed by the same candidate.

1) Say for example candidate A has filed 3 different applications through different employers, which is allowed and is not an issue. 

If the candidate is lucky enough and all 3 applications are picked, he will be dropping two applications and will go with one. 
a) WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE TWO SLOTS THAT ARE COUNTED TOWARDS THE TOTAL OF 85000. ARE THEY GOING TO BE WASTED FOR THIS YEAR AND IS OF NO USE TO OTHERS.

2) if 500 candidates does this and leave two each, a total of 1000 are of no use??? HOW ARE THIS 1000 REUSED?


Thanks!

Employers file H1B petitions and not employee.

Multiple applications only count as one. A person is only counted as one. That means either all or none of the applications are selected.

So, there are no "slots to reuse."
