I have H1B status (part time) with my current employer. Have an offer for a full time position from a second employer.

As long as you were counted against the cap the first time you can apply for concurrent H-1B any time but no more than 6 months before the desired start date.

Because you already have an H-1B visa, a second employer may file on your behalf at any time. He does not have to wait until April 1.

If you already are counted against the cap, then a second employer can file at any time within the period of your original H-1B period.
