You can have two H-1B's at one time with different employers as long as you are able to perform both jobs. In situations where an individual has an H-1B visa stamp from one employer, and quits and goes to a second employer which has an H1B approval, an H-1B visa stamp for the second employer is not necessary and the individual can travel using the first employer's H-1B stamp and carrying the current H-1B I-797 petition approval. So given the non-necessity of having 2 distinct visas there, there is the chance that even if you are working for both employers at the same time, a consular officer may believe that it is not necessary for you to have two H-1B visas. A consular officer may also believe that annotating the name of the second employer under the present visa would be enough. Finally if the consular officer believes that there are questions concerning the second H-1B petition, he or she may deny visa issuance. In that case, hopefully nothing that you would have said in the visa interview would cast doubts upon the validity of the already issued H-1B visa.

Someone deported for an aggravated felony is inadmissable and may not return to the US at all.  It would depend on whether the drug charge qualified as an aggravated felony and was the basis of the removal action.

You have to prove good moral character for the 5 years (3 years if married and living with U.S. Citizen) preceding the date you file your N-400 Application. A conviction of a crime involving good moral character, such as larceny, would mean that you have to wait 5 years from the date of the conviction. Whether you were wrongly accused does not matter, what matter is whether you were found guilty. Also, please be aware that many criminal convictions can result in your being deported or removed from the U.S. By filing for Naturalization you would be telling the USCIS of your conviction. Therefore, you should speak to an immigration attorney regarding your situation before you file. Additionally, you should speak to them even if you decide not to file since you could have a problem re-entering the U.S. if you leave because of your conviction.
