Summary
If selected by multiple employers in the H1-B lottery, you can proceed with one. Informing other employers is ethical. If you dont provide documents, they may not proceed. Employers can revoke an H1-B; a new employer must file a new petition. You can switch from L1-B to H1-B with your current employer, even if approved with another. Non-exempt H1-B petitions can be filed by any U.S. Employer, typically in specialized industries. Lottery-exempt petitions can be filed by higher education institutions, affiliated non-profits, and research organizations. Contact details can be found on official websites or platforms like LinkedIn.Full Conversation
• My H1-B lottery was selected by five employers/consultancies, Am I good to go further H1-B process by any one of them? or I need to inform others?
Hello ****,
If your H1-B lottery was selected by multiple employers, you can proceed with only one. However, it's generally considered ethical to inform other employers about the selected petition. Legal issues could arise if multiple petitions move forward.
if I will not send any document to other employers then they will not be able to proceed for petition?
Hello ****,
If you do not provide necessary documents to the other employers, they may not be able to proceed with the H1-B process. However, they could potentially proceed if they already have the required information. It's always better to communicate with them directly.
• After the H1-B approval as consular notification (on 1st Oct,*), Can consultancy revoke my H1-B? if yes, what will be the process for new employment on H1-B?
Hello ****,
Yes, an employer can revoke an approved H1-B. The new employer would need to file a new H1-B petition for you. It's recommended to have the new petition filed before the old one is revoked to avoid unlawful presence.
Can new employer file the petition after the revoke as well?
Hello ****,
Yes, a new employer can file an H1-B petition for you even after the previous one is revoked. However, you may not be able to work until the new petition is approved. It's best to avoid gaps in employment authorization.
I am working on L1-B so it would be continued and I have not to go for the lottery process for the H1-B?
Hello ****,
Yes, if you're already working under L1-B, you can continue without going through the H1-B lottery process. However, if you switch employers, the new employer will need to file an H1-B petition for you.
Anyway, if I just want to change the status with my current employer X from L1-B to H1-B after H1-B approval (Right after October * or after some time probably 1 year later) even My H1-B approved with another employer Y.
Hello ****,
Yes, you can change your status from L1-B to H1-B with your current employer X, even if your H1-B was approved with another employer Y. Your employer X needs to file an H1-B petition for you.
• If employer Y does not agree to file H1-B as consular notification what we can do to change it, or Can I change it before or after approval?
Hello ****,
If employer Y does not agree to file H1-B as consular notification, you cannot change it on your own. However, you may consult a legal expert or USCIS for further options. This is usually done before approval but post-approval changes might be possible.

Yes, but only in certain situations like higher education and nonprofit research organizations. They're exempt from the H1-B cap and can file an H1-B petition at any time.
