I am currently living in India and have 2 job offers from 2 separate
Companies in USA. Is it legal to ask both of them to file for my H1B visa? Is it possible that USCIS may reject both petitions?

I have heard that this year visas would be filled up in the first week of April itself so having both companies file for me would increase my chances of getting at least one H1B approved.

Only one at a time. You can't ask both to file for you. They do cost money to apply for.

Suggest you apply for your own Visitors Visa so you can be interviewed by both and only one has to apply if you are hired.

Thanks @tickle.

I have been interviewed by both and have written offers from them. Keeping aside the money aspect, will USCIS dismiss the petitions if it sees 2 different employers trying to sponsor the same candidate?

But have you actually been attending interviews on a visitor visa for both of them? Were the interviews done by Skype. No, it just could not happen that both would apply. This is too wishywashy. A decision must be reached by you or one of them in order for a petition to happen.

Don't file for 2 jobs ever! There will be a red flag and both cases would be rejected. The companies will be under investigation as there are so many fraud on H1-B and L visas, especially from India.

Choose one, if you don't like working with them, find a new job and transfer visa.

Just wanted to update the readers.

Both h1b petitions were approved though the 2nd company got a letter from USCIS informing that I had an approved petition with 1st company. They didn't care and the 2nd one got approved as well.

I feel bad for taking up more than 1 slot in the quota.
