H-1B lottery - who can participate?
The H1B lottery is entered into by employers, not employees. Therefore, you need a US employer to apply for you.

Legal name change after H-1B lottery but before H-1B petition
Hi,
I am in the process of legally changing my name through court order. Can you please let me know if I can - apply for H1b lottery with my current name - and if selected, use the new legal name and passport to submit H1b petition?
Please let me know. Appreciate the help.
Thank you Sreenath

This is worth looking into, but only your H1B lawyers can help your employer and you make a decision as to the best course of action. Follow this up.

First name with spaces in the Indian passport
Need your inputs on the middle name - I have my first name mentioned in the passport with multiple spaces like Mahendra Kumar Chowdary since there is no middle name field in the Indian passport So now my employer planning to file H1B for me, and while registering for the H1B cap-subject, can I use names such as the first name as "Mahindra" and middle name as "Kumar Chowdary"? or Can I keep them all together in the first name as it mentioned in the passport? I want to avoid any confusion in the future on name split.

I suggest having your lawyers check with the USCIS.
