L1/H1 Confusion
I currently hold a L1B approval from a company here in India (Will be attending Visa interview last week of March 2008) and will be traveling to USA somewhere mid June.
Also I have an offer from an employer in USA and he will be filing my H1B this April 08.
Q1.Do i need to mention that I have a L1B approval when filing for H1B
Q2. If I get L1 Visa stamped and travel to USA and at the same time get approved for H1B,will be there be any problem when traveling to USA on L1B
Q3. Based on assumption that my H1b gets approved and start date is October 2008, Do i need to transfer from L1b to H1b by then? Can I continue on L1B (Dont apply for COS in US)while holding H1B .
In short does my L1B become invalid once my H1b starts?
IF NO - Can i Extend H1B start date.
IF yes When do I File for COS to be in be in valid status
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
