Hi,
I am on L1 visa now and in March I will complete my 5 years on L1B beyond which it cannot be extended. Since my LC is stuck for more than two years my attorney suggested to me convert to H1B so that it can be extended till I get my GC. My H1B is approved and now I need to get the stamping. My attoeney says that it cannot be done in St.Louis and has to be done from a counsalte since it is a new visa.
Is this right? Also I am planning to visit Chennai India in Jan 04 and will try for the stamping at that time. Should I expect any issues? I am working for the same employer all these years and it is a very big multinational company. Is there any other alternative counslates like Vancouver where I can get this done in a week or so.
Thanks in adavnce for all the inputs.
