L1 to H1

[gcwait2002]

This is for one of my friend. I could not find any answer of this any where. If any one of you have gone through the same, please share your experience.


- I am working in the US on an L1(Employer A) visa and my I94 is valid for the next two years.
- I have another employer(B) who is ready to sponsor an H1 (L1 to H1 Transfer).
- If I proceed with it I will get my H1 petition approved in another two months.

Questions:

- Can I work on L1 visa if I get my H1 petition approved?
- Do I need to resign from employer A as soon as my H1 petition is approved?
- I plan to leave the US almost 8 months after my H1B petition is approved and re-enter on H1 after visa stamping in India. Is adjustment of status possible from L1 to H1 without visa stamping ?

Basically. I want to know what kind of impact will happen on my L1 Visa when my H1 petition will get approved?

Once H1 is approved, your L1 status is gone.

- Do I need to resign from employer A as soon as my H1 petition is approved?
- I plan to leave the US almost 8 months after my H1B petition is approved and re-enter on H1 after visa stamping in India. Is adjustment of status possible from L1 to H1 without visa stamping ?

Your L1 is no more valid.
