Rajiv's Article - Decoder: Could multiple H-1B lottery petitions be filed for the same employee? - The Economic Times
Published by: The Economic Times - Date: March 03, 2021
Synopsis
Often, multiple employers are competing to hire the same employee. It is obviously in the best interest of an employee to have multiple filings because that increases their chances of being selected in the electronic selection system (lottery). And equally obviously, this could amount to an abuse of the system if there were no checks on multiple filings.
