I have a H-1 VISA that's valid till Sept 2005. My employment was terminated on Nov 18 2002 by my Employer for Economic reasons since the company wasn't doing well. My company would be informing INS about this on Dec 18 2002. When exactly do I go out of status?
My marriage is on Dec 6 2002 in India and I have to travel home for the marriage and plan to come back on Dec 11. My wife is coming by Dec 3-4th week on a L-1 Visa from her employer.
I am planning to transfer from H-1 to L-2 dependent VISA on my wife's L-1 visa. I have the following 2 plans to do it:
Plan A: Apply for a Transfer in India: After marriage, I would apply for the VISA based on the paperwork of my wife's L-1 VISA and then come to US on a L-2 Visa
Plan B: Apply for a Transfer in US: After marriage, I would come back on my current H-1 visa and then apply for a change of status from H-1 to L-2 here in the US.
Which is a better option? Are there other ways around ?
