Asking for a friend - My friend got an offer from Company A and the company wants to initiate the H1B Transfer process. But, my friend has his final round of interview with Company B tomorrow. His preference is Company B. Can he start the H1B transfer process with Company A and if he gets an offer with Company B, can he start the H1B process with Company B as well in parallel? Will the H1B transfer petitions affect each other in any way? If 1 H1B transfer petition gets an RFE, will it affect the other? His start date with Company A is March 11th. At what point should he let Company A know about the other offer? Should it be after Company B’s H1B transfer is approved? Should he go ahead and start working with Company A until Company B’s H1B is approved? Note: His H1B grace period ends on March 24th. Thanks!

Is it for your friend or for you? 😂
Anyways As per my knowledge no matter how many companies you apply through its just going to be counted as one application.
It is for a friend, I’m on STEM OPT, not on H1B right now. My friend is already on H1B. The above questions were about H1B Transfer petition from one company to another not H1B lottery petition.
Yes
If his present I-797 is valid till the company b transfer then yes.
Yes
If H1B transfer from company A to B gets approved, the next transfer would be from B to C. You can’t be running around with approvals for A to B and A to C both
If they are two companies say google and apple, then Yes. If it is the same consultancy applying for two clients, then No. (will lead to serious issues if you get caught. DON’T do it). Regardless, why do you need two unless you are going to work two jobs (in which case the second one has to be filed differently)
It used to be legal back in 2016 as long as they were bona fide offers. Now idk
Absolutely
Can he start the H1B transfer process with Company A and if he gets an offer with Company B, can he start the H1B process with Company B as well in parallel?yes Will the H1B transfer petitions affect each other in any way?no If 1 H1B transfer petition gets an RFE, will it affect the other?no His start date with Company A is March 11th. At what point should he let Company A know about the other offer? Should it be after Company B’s H1B transfer is approved?ideally yes to be safe. Although he can start working for B once he gets a receipt and doest have to wait for approval. Bit keep in mind working on a receipt will be risky in case of h1 denial. Should he go ahead and start working with Company A until Company B’s H1B is approved?no if he wants to join company B. If he joins A and then want to move to B, it needs a new H1 transfer from A to B Note: His H1B grace period ends on March 24th. Good luck to your friend.
Og post at-least appreciate this guy who genuinely made an effort to provide you explanation with example than others who are just here to make you more worrisome or joke about your situation.
no
To which question? 😂
