L1-B with current company, but wanting to switch companies...HELP!

I'm wondering how I can transfer to a new company and what Visa requirements are needed?

My story: I'm Canadian and working in the US on a L1-B Visa for Company A. I have a great opportunity to work for a UK-based company (although in the US still) and need to know what requirements are needed for my Visa situation.

I assume I cannot remain on the L1-B as it's sponsored by Company A. Would I simply need to re-apply for a new Visa (H1-B, perhaps?) through the new company? Or is there a way to do a simple switchover from Company A to Company B? Is the H1-B my only option?


Thanks!
