I want to start business by investing money there so please guide me for same.

I want to settle in US so can you please guide me for this.

Or please if some one give me some good Attorney contact details who can give right advice on this.

Waiting for some positive reply

You cannot "convert" your B1 visa to L1 visa in U.S., you should enter U.S. with a L1 visa instead.

The individual must be coming to the United States to provide services to the same employer or a branch office, subsidiary or affiliate. For this reason, L-1 visa holders are known as intracompany transferees. Executives and managers enter the United States on an L-1A visa. Employees with specialized knowledge enter the United States on an L-1B visa. see http://www.greencardapply.com/l1visa/l1visa_whatis.htm
