L1 to H1-B visa transfer-Re-enter US

[Jaypeeshan]

Hi,

I have a query on visa transfer from L1 to H1B..currently, i am working here in US on L1 visa.my H1B is about to get approved from some other employer. My H1B was applied in May 2006 when i was not in US.and My L1 was applied and stamped in August 2006.
so once my H1B is approved,if i want to goto countires outside US for few months ,can i come back on L1 itself(being employee of present company itself).
ie;can i extend the stamping of my H1B to a later date,even if its approved now.. Or is it that i have to make sure my passport is stamped with H1B ,when i exit and come back to US.Alternately, if i want to continue with present employer, can i get my H1B cancelled.

Any help/thoughts on this is highly appreciated.
Thanks very much in advance.

You can postpone H1 stamp and enter the US with L1. But if you use L1 to enter, you can not work for H1 employer.
H1 won't be cancelled no matter what, unless H1 sponsor takes action.
