The I-94 (or I-797C) indicates which employer you can work for on an H1. When you transfer you don't get a new visa and the new I-94 invalidates the previous I-94. So you never hold two visas or two valid I-94s and are not authorized to work for two employers.
- pbiggar 13y agoHmmm. I agree I was not as technically accurate as I should have been, but I am 90% certain you can work for 2 H1B employers at the same time.
- ktsmith 13y agoYou can work for multiple employers on an H-1B if you have multiple approved I-129 petitions. Your original comment was in regards to a transfer which falls under AC-21. edit: Technicalities in immigration law can have large consequences, working outside of one's status, or for an unapproved employer can result in being removed from the US and being banned from return for a number of years depending on the circumstances.
