Q: Can two completely unrelated employers file for my H1B for year 2021?
I have received job offer from a company which is ready to sponsor and apply for my visa even before I join. While my current employer is also planning on filing for me. Both are unrelated organizations. Will this cause any problem during or after the lottery process this year?
A:
In the past two different employers were able to file the FORMI-129H on behalf of the same beneficiary. However, the filing procedures are not entirely set for the FY 2021 filings. USCIS will release instructions regarding the employer registration process in a few weeks.
Good luck to you.
