I have a valid L1 visa from company ABC till Feb 2008. I am currently in USA with L1 visa of company ABC.
In Apr 2006 Company XYZ sponsered my H1-B petition,
I got the H1-B approval letter in OCT 2006.
This is a New H1-B petition, "not the change of status" from L1 to H1.
I need to go back to India in comming week of November for my marriage and will be back to USA in 2 week.
I dont want to join the company XYZ till january 2007 once I will be back from India. I want to join the XYZ company in January 2007.
My Queries are:
1) Can I come back from India to USA on L1 visa, without stamping H1.will my H1 visa approval get cancelled?
2) If I am comming back on L1 visa, will my H1-B petition still be valid ? and can I again go back to India in January and get stamped H1-B.
3) During My visit to india in November If I am stamping my H1-B visa from company XYZ, will my L1 visa from ABC company will get cancelled.can I do so?
4) Can I travel to USA with L1 visa from company ABC getting my H1-B visa stamped from USA Consulate in India.
Can I have both the L1 and H1 visa at same time.as my L1 visa is expiring in Feb 2008.
Please help me out.
