Hi,
I am in L1B visa with my current employer. My L1B employer has applied for H1B and it got approved. I got the new I-797-B Approval form (valid starting Oct-1-2008) with out the I-94 or "Change of Status".
Can any one please answer the following questions and let me know as how to proceed.
1. Can I stay in US after Oct-1-2008 since my current L1B's I-94 is valid till 2009.
2. Can I get my H1B stamped in Canada or Mexico even though the Consulate mentioned in the I-797-B is New Delhi Consulate.
3. Though I am already in US for past two years in L1B, But I got I-797-B (with No Change of Status) instead of I-797-A (Change of Status). Will this affect the chance of getting my H1B stamped on my passport.?
4. Which is the right time to go for the H1B visa stamping. Since my current L1B employer is same as the H1B employer. So do I need to wait for 3 or 4 paystubs after October-1-2008 or Can I go for H1B visa stamping anytime after October-1-2008.
5. Will I be out of Status starting from Oct-1-2008. (My L1B and H1B employer both are same, also my COS or Extension of Stay is not approved since I got I-797 B) ?
Your guidance is appreciated.!
