I am currently on L1A visa which expired in September 05. I94 is valid thru July 08. In March 06, the company applied for extension of L1A. However, I want to change my job which will require H1B visa. I have following questions

1. When can I apply for H1B visa? Do I have to wait till L1A is processed or can I apply with L1A extension still in process? I want to apply for H1b asap as I do fall in the cap.

2. I am planning to go back to India in July 06 to get H1b stamped. What will be my status in case my H1b is approved before I leave for India?

Thanks in advance.
