Can you have two H1B visas for two jobs from two different companies?

Hi Everyone:
Can you work full time on one H1B visa by employer #1 and also work part-time on second H1B visa by employer #2, both at the same time?
Thanks.

It is possible only if the 2nd H1B is filed as a part time "CONCURRENT" H1B and if it got approved by USCIS.

Thanks for the info. What is "Concurrent" H1B? And what are the chance of it getting approved if its filed by governmental body like Navy?

Concurrent H1B is one that will let you work for the 2nd employer at the same time when you can continue to work for the 1st emplyer.

The chance of getting it approved is similar to normal H1B. There is no big difference.
