Hi,
Presently i am working in USA for Company A on L1B. My L1B visa and petition will expire in July 3rd week. Company A is applying for L1B extension. Recently i had a H1B offer from Company B. Company B had filed a H1B petition on June 2nd.This H1B petition will be effective from Oct1st,2005.

1)Will it be a problem to have new H1B petition and L1B extention petition at the same time.Will it create any problem to my L1B extension.

2)How long can i stay in USA.I have plans to join with company B in Dec,2005.
So, do i need to leave USA before Oct,2005 and come back with H1B stamp,I94 to USA.

Please some one advice me as early as possible.
 
1) not a problem. you can have both at the same time.

2) you don't have to leave USA and get stamping. You can continue without stamping as long as you are in US. you need to get stamping only when you leave the country and come back.
