FAQ: Multiple companies applying for H-1B Cap registration - H-1B lottery

1 year ago By Chief Editor
Question details

I am an international student currently of F-1 visa status and will be graduating in May-23. I have the below questions:

1. Can multiple companies / employers apply for H1-B on my behalf in this upcoming H1-B cap pool?

2. If yes, is there a possibility that the employers might get to know about this?

3. Should my name in the passport and birth certificate match exactly? My birth certificate has an abbreviation my last name but my passport has my complete last name.

 

FAQ Transcript

When there is no connection between two companies, and they are not colluding to help somebody get an H-1B visa or increase their chances of getting selected in the H1B lottery, multiple companies can file. Interestingly, even different units within the same bigger company could file if they have a genuine need and not face any issues.

1 year ago By Chief Editor
Question details

I am on an H-1B visa and recently got laid off.

If I don't find a job within the 60 days grace period:

1. Can I go back to my home country and keep applying for jobs and then come back once I get one? If yes, would I have to go through the lottery again?

2. If not, what are my options?

3. What additional documents do I need to provide while applying for my new visa to explain the missing pay stubs?

4. What does the company that let me go send to the USCIS as documentation for termination of contract?

 

FAQ Transcript
  1. Sure, you can go back to your home country. No, you do not have to go through the lottery again.
  2. H-4 and F-1 CPT visas would be options.
  3. You actually just need a copy of your H-1B approval.
  4. If an employer wants to conclude an H-1B, they have to do three things: First, they have to inform the employee that their job is terminated. Second, they have to offer the employee a one-way ticket back to their home country. Third, they have to put it down in writing and request that the H-1B be revoked because they have to write to the USCIS.
