Hi,
I have been working with a company ABC from April 2007 in India. In Oct 2007 I got my H1B visa stamped for a company XYZ of USA and is valid thru OCT 2010. I took a long vacation here in India and went to USA for the company XYZ and stayed there for 45 days. During the period of stay I got my SSN and also I got one payslip generated for two weeks. Becoz of the market slowdown I had to return back to India and joined the same company ABC in India. Now this company wants to process for B1/L1 for me, So is there any problem if I have to apply for B1 or L1 and is there any problem in the Embassy about the 45 days I spent in US on H1B while I was employed in a company ABC form April 2007?

Please suggest me on this asap.
 
This is not a legal advice, but it should not be any problem. You would need to make sure that you have all the documents with you (SSN, pay slip, proof that you maintained your status in the US throughout).
