Hello,

I am in L1B since Aug 2012 and my i-94 is expiring in the 1st week of August. My project is ending and my company wants me to come back.

My spouse is on H1B, valid till Oct 2017. I want to continue to stay in US for couple more months (August and September). What options do i have?

Can I apply for a COS from L1B to H4 before my I94 expires?

If I apply for a COS in mid July, it will take atleast 3 months. can i continue to stay until September with approval pending?

After I apply for COS, can i still continue to work on L1B until 1st week of August (until I94 expires)?

What happens to the COS case if I go back to my home country while approval is still pending? Will that affect any future visa approvals?

Any information on this is appreciated.

Thanks
