Multiple Filing Of H1b By 2 Employers Urgent Help

[lucky7]

Hi Folks,

My H1 B is going to expire on This month Nov 21 and i 94 as well, but here is the issue i have, My present employer filed H1B today (11/07/2011) Premium processing with USCIS. But the Client (XXX) has already filed H1B for me (10/11/2011) premium processing with USCIS and has already receipt number and the case status is Active). But this is was a mistake i asked the Client IBM to stop filing my H1 B but some how they missed my email and they did it. So i will really appreciate if some one can guide me, on how can i resolve this issue. The IBM HR is saying if i want they will cancel it. but can i cancel it now ? will it impact my H1B filing from my Employer? Any help in this situation will be really appreciated. can we file 2 H1 B for 2 different employers? Please help

I think, You can apply through both the employers. but at a time, you need to carry only one H1B approval. Let them approved, then you can cancel one of them later.

This is my personal opinion. i am not an attorney. so please post the same issue in murthy's forum. Good luck for future

If i remember correctly, Your H1b at any point of time can be sponsored by only 1 employer. So the employer who gets the second or latter approval will be the current sponsor. The earlier sponsor will lapse

As mentioned above..please check with an attorney.
