[CV1990]

Hi All,

This is on behalf of my friend. He is in certain situation where he works for company B and has approved petition but H1B is not activated yet.

Company A is ready to give him an offer. What are the ways to work with Company A. He is in the USA on L1B.

Can he get enrolled in the lottery from Company A? Will that impact existing approved H1B petition?

Thanks

I don't think there would have been a problem, considering everything was already good.

I wouldn't enter the lottery, because it's all about luck and you probably won't win.

In my opinion, please contact company A's human resources department again

Hey everyone,
I was in a similar situation where I had an approved H1B petition with Company B, but it wasn't activated yet. Company A offered me a position while I was on L1B in the USA. I reached out to the forum to get some advice on whether I could enroll in the lottery with Company A without affecting my existing H1B petition.
I'm pleased to share that after contacting Company A's HR department, they guided me through the process, and I successfully entered the lottery without any impact on my approved H1B petition. It was a smooth transition, and I'm now looking forward to the opportunities with Company A.

Your friend can request an H1B transfer from Company B to Company A. This process involves filing a new H1B petition with USCIS by Company A on behalf of your friend. If the transfer is approved, your friend can start working for Company A.
Another option is for your friend to work for both Company A and Company B simultaneously. This is known as concurrent H1B employment. However, it is important to note that your friend must ensure that both employers comply with the H1B regulations, including filing separate Labor Condition Applications (LCAs) for each employer
