In 2001, i came to US with an H1 B and was deputed to India to the co's offshore branch. my H1 B visa expired in March 2003. Now, the project is over and recently i took a B1 (multiple entry 10 year) visa to come here for the knowledge transfer. Now my company wants me to start working here by applying for H1B.
My B1 will expire on July 31st. Now, is there a way to extend this B1, and then apply for H1B. a conversion from B1 to H1B without going back to india.
Do i have to go back to India and wait till i get my H1B.
is there any way, i can apply for extension of my B1 visa till october, while my H1 B visa is in process. And when i get my H1B, is it a must to go to india for visa stamping?
Will my new H1 B considered as an extension to my earlier H1B, as it is through the same company?
incase, i cant get an extension of B1 beyond 31st July, can i travel to canada. file H1 B under premium processing and come back to US in a week? will this entries have an impact on my H1B/ B1?
