Hi,
I am a Canadian Citizen and was working in the US on L1-B visa.
I found out today morning that my Employer as let me go and my L1 visa is not valid anymore.
He informed me that I have 60 days grace period to obtain valid status in US or I will have to leave.
My husband is on H1-B status in US, so I am planning to switch from L1 to H4 status.
My question is, can I travel to Canada and re-enter in US on H4 status, or will I need to file a change of status from within the US.
I live 2 hours away from the border, so if I can do it at the border that will be easier and faster.
Please advise which way I should go for the same.
Thanks in Advance!
