Multiple H1B transfer and offer letter

[H1BANDGC]

Hello Guys,

Need your expert advice.
Situation: I am on H1B visa with my sponsoring company as A. Now I have received an offer from company B and company C.

Question:
a) Can I apply for H1B transfer using company A, I-797 for both B and C?
b) Does it matter if the approval comes for B first and C later, then I have to work for B only and not C?
c) If I join C then can B create a legal case against me?

ANS: You can join which every company you want to or even not join B or C.
c) If I join C then can B create a legal case against me?
ANS: Dont sign any agreement if you want to play safe. If you sign any agreement / cash bond then they can sue you.

a) Can I apply for H1B transfer using company A, I-797 for both B and C?
>>> Yes.

b) Does it matter if the approval comes for B first and C later, then I have to work for B only and not C?
>>> It doesn't matter. Advisable to work for Company A until the transfer gets approved.

c) If I join C then can B create a legal case against me?
>>> Have you signed any contract? If yes, then consult an attorney. If no, then no issues.

Multiple H1B transfer and offer letter

The only thing I have signed is the offer letter stating that I might join on X date. Other than this I have not signed anything else. Hope that should not be a big problem?

That is not a problem.

well even if he signs two different contract still he's free to resign. Right?

That depends on what contact you have signed. Employment is U.S is at-will basis. No one can force you to work for them. At the same time, if you breach any contact, then you may have to pay the penalty for lose of business. So again, it depends on what you have signed.
