Filing Multiple Cap Exempt H1b using Old H1b petition

[i_like_usa]

Hi

I'm on L1B Visa with Employer A, I also have an Approved H1b (not stamped) from Year 2009 Oct.
Employer B is in process of filing new H1b under Cap Exempt using old H1b.

Mean while my current employer (Employer A) is also willing to file Cap Exempt H1b using old H1b.

Technically & Legally is it fine to file multiple cap exempt H1b using old H1b?

I appreciate and thank you in advance for your response.

Yes it is allowed but I would say avoid it, as it almost always leads to issues as one cannot control which one gets approved first/last.

Do understand if B's petition is approved, as it would be a COS from L1 to H1, you must work for them and get paid by them post COS effective date.


This is my opinion, not legal advice.
