L1B to H1B when L1B is applied for extension

[sami39]

Hi -

I have just applied for L1B extension two weeks ago(not appro ved yet)-in the mean time can I go for a new H1B & change the employer.
How long does it take to convert L1B to H1B & what is involved do it ?

thank you !

I have exactly the same problem. I have an L1A and an approved H1 without an i94. I dont know if my L1 itself is valid or not. Can I continue to wirk in the US on my L1?

THanks
