Dear Experts,
I applied for L1 to H1 transfer last year with the I94 attached to the L1. By the time my H1 got approved, I went to India for vacation (on the L1) and while entering US again gota new I94#.
Subsequently my H1 came thru and I shifted to my new employer (L1 to H1). I did not leave US and hence there was no need for stamping. I am now trying to change my job and while trying to do a H1B transfer I am being told that since the I94 #s on my approved H1B is different from the one I had (when I reentered US), the transfer is not possible.
Is this true? If thats the case whats the workaround so that I can do a H1B xfer. Appreciate an early response..
