Hi,

I want to know if more than one employer / company can sponsor a H1B for one person. Meaning, can I get multiple H1Bs filed for me from different employers? If so, and if I get approved H1Bs from two different companies, will it create a problem? And when I get approved H1Bs, is it possible for me to get one H1B cancelled and use only one which I want to use?

Thanks,

--------yes

------------Why you want two US employers to file H1 for you? Do you know that employer has to pay lawyer fees and USCIS fees?
And when I get approved H1Bs, is it possible for me to get one H1B cancelled and use only one which I want to use?
----------------------- You can’t cancel H1. US employer files H1 petition and only US employer can cancel or revoke the H1 petition.

I am applying through multiple employer just to increase my chances of getting through the lottrey system for H1B quota from past few years. I have another question, what if my employer is not ready to cancel the H1? Can I still join one of the employer eventhough I have multiple approved H1s. Would this create issues with my H1 processing with the employer I choose to join?

Thanks for your help.

How would you interpret this comment from USCIS ?

Update on Duplicate H-1B Petitions Filed Requesting Fiscal Year 2009 Employment
On March 24, 2008, USCIS published an interim rule in the Federal Register prohibiting H-1B petitioners from filing multiple petitions for the same prospective beneficiary in an effort to increase the chances of receiving an H-1B visa number. The overall goal of the new rule is to ensure that prospective petitioners filing H-1B petitions subject to congressionally mandated numerical limits have an equal chance to employ an H-1B worker. USCIS will deny or revoke all petitions filed by an employer for the same H-1B worker if more than one filing is discovered. If multiple petitions are discovered, whether one or more such petitions are approved, USCIS will data enter all those duplicative petitions, retain all fees, and either deny the petitions or, if a petition was approved, revoke the petition. The petitions will not be returned to the petitioner. As of June 6, 2008, USCIS has discovered that less than ½ of one percent of the total H-1B cap eligible petitions received involved duplicate or multiple filings for the same prospective beneficiary.
