H1B petition Filing from 2 different company in the same year is valid ?

[rohan01]

Hi, I'll be grateful if someone can help me by marking the answers against below doubts :

Scenario: 2 Company's A & B are filing H1B petition in this year's quota for an employee. Company 'A' doesn't know that Company 'B' is also filing the H1B Petition and vice versa.

Questions:
(1) 'Legally' is it valid to file 2 H1B petitions under the same year quota ?
(2) Could it led to rejection of both/any one of the petition in case Visa approving authorities come to know that 2 petitions exist for the same person in the same year quota ?
(3) Could it led to any other kind of trouble in case that employee doesn't join the second company ?
(4) Do they have lottery system to approve the petitions?

Its my humble request to share any link to in case this kind of information is available somewhere on internet.

Thanks a lot !
My Best regards
Rohan

Questions:
(1) 'Legally' is it valid to file 2 H1B petitions under the same year quota ? -- Yes, two different companies can certainly file for the same person.
(2) Could it led to rejection of both/any one of the petition in case Visa approving authorities come to know that 2 petitions exist for the same person in the same year quota ? -- No, it will make no difference.
(3) Could it led to any other kind of trouble in case that employee doesn't join the second company ? -- No problem.
(4) Do they have lottery system to approve the petitions? -- No, only to accept if they receive more than annual cap.

Its my humble request to share any link to in case this kind of information is available somewhere on internet.
