Can you file for Multiple H1 Bs, off course with different employers, to increase your chances of getting approved in the lottery.
I do not know what to do as there are several forums that say it is OK and there are several that say that filing Multiple H1 Bs is not considered in good faith and will decrease the chances of getting it approved. Though on speaking to the lawyer about this, I got the opinion that legally there is nothing wrong with it as there is no official memo that bars a person from doing this, but again if the officer who is dealing with you case comes to know that you have filed from 2 different employers, depending on how that officer thinks about it, you may or may not recieve an approval. So there is human element involved. What are the chances that they will even know that a candidate has applied for more than 1 H1B, unless they are actively trying to track this down. Also I have come to know that such candidates with multiple H1B applications are recieving many RFE's. They do get the reciept nos. but the case stays pending for a long time.
please folks write into this thread and spread this knoledge along so that all may benefit.
As far as the moral issue related to this is considered, we all understand it and will have to be our own judge.
Thanks
