L1 to H1 transfer

[marshalishere]

Recently I transferred from L1 to H1. My L1 visa got expired before the H1 transfer, but my L1 petition was valid. Do I need to stamp my H1?
I'm trying to avoid to go to india just for H1 stamping.

Is it possible for my wife to attend H4 interview without my H1 visa?
Is there any chance of rejection due to this issue?

thanks & regards

Look at H1 approval notice and see if I-94 was attached. If it was, you do not need stamp til next time you travel.

BTW, is your I-94 with L1 still valid ?

H1 has I - 94

My H1 has an I-94 attached to it which is valid till 2008.
My L1 I-94 is also valid till 2008. According to my knowledge, this I-94 will be invalid since I got my H1 I-94.

Correct me, if I'm worng

thnaks & regards

------------ your H1 approval has I-94 attached you can remain in US and can work on H1 when you go out then you need H1 visa stamp to enter on H1 status
I'm trying to avoid to go to india just for H1 stamping.
