Hi
I have a few questions on changing visa status from L1 Blanket to H1b, and seek forum's help.
I work for a comany in the USA on L1 Blanket, however will like to shift to another which is ready to sponsor my H1B in the USA. I want to understand how easy this process is transferring my L1 Blanket visa with my current employer to H1B with another employer.
Do I need to intimate my current employer about my applicaiton for change until my H1B gets approved?
Can this status change be done within the USA or I will have to visit India or outside for the same?
Can I go out of status during this change? My L1 is valid for next 6 months, and H1B can be started in this month by another employer. I also have a valid B1 visa, but I entered US on an L1.
Are there any other potential issue I should be wary of?
Please help.
Thanks a lot
Maneesh
