Hi,
I came to US on H1b visa in 2003 with Company A valid till 14 March 2005. In Feb 2005 my company applied for H1B extension till 5 Dec 2007 with I94 valid till 5 Dec 2007.
Again I went back to India and got L1A stamped through the same company in June 2005. And came to US on L1A Visa.
My Current visa status is L1A valid till 28 Oct 2008 and I94 Valid till 28 Oct 2008. My H1B petition with same company is expired on 5 Dec 2007.
Now I have following questions:
1. If company B is ready to apply for H1B, will it be L1A to H1B (expired) trasnfer?
2. Will it come under H1 Cap?
3. Do I need to wait till April 2008 to apply for H1B or I can apply for Change of Status now?
Any help/comments are appreciated.
Thx
