Can I maintain multiple H1b visas?

I am on H1b visa for the last 3 years with Company A. I'd like to know whether I can maintain multiple H1b visas, meaning with 2 companies, Company A & B, and then start processing Green Card with Company B. Please help me.

I am not sure what you are requesting. You cannot have two H-1B visas for the same duration. You can have multiple H-1B visas so long as the period of validity is different. For example, you could have received an H1-B visa from company A. You could then go to work for company B by either changing your sponsor (if company A’s H-1B was still valid) or filing for a new H-1B for a period after the expiration of company A’s H1-B visa.
