Bye Take Care & Have A Nice Day
Answer:
Answer 1 is correct. No problem having two companies apply for H1B visas, or having two H1B visas simultaneously while in the US. H1Bs allow for temporary/part-time employment, so theoretically one person could have many H1B visas with different companies at the same time.
The bigger issue is probably whether each company is aware of the other company. There are significant costs associated with filing for H1B ($2190 filing fees minimum, + legal fees). Company A might not be very happy if they paid all that money only to discover that the worker has joined Company B instead.
