L1 to B1 change of status, when B1 is valid

Hi, I am on L1B visa, and I have also a valid B1 visa.
1) If I resign, will my status be switched automatically from L1 to B1, or do I have to fill form I-539 for status change?
2) My wife doesn't have a valid B1. Does her and mine COS procedure differ?

Thanks,
antony
 
1. No. You will be out of status. You need to apply for Change of Status yourself. You should preferably apply before you resign. Your visa is irrelevant (visas are only for entry to the US.) Also, B1 is business visitor; are you sure you don't mean B2?
2. It's the same.
