Hi,

I am in India currently, and work for Company A. My H1 got approved thru Company B, and i have appointment for stamping at consulate in India next month.
meanwhile my current company Company A client is calling me to USA on B1 for a month. this Company A doesn't know that i am going thru on H1(from Company B).

1. My question is if i get H1 visa Stamp from Company B(lets say i get visa), and go again to consulate for B1 withina week. do they give me visa? Can i have both H1 (from Company B), and B1 (from Company A) at the same time?
2. If (1) is Ok. Can i come to US first on B1 and return back in a month, and leave Company A permanently, and come to US again on h1 thru Company B? do u see any problems at POE or others?

please advise,

Thanks

Once your h1 is stamped in your pp, you may get B1 upon cancellation of H1. which is not wise to do it.
2. If (1) is Ok. Can i come to US first on B1 and return back in a month, and leave Company A permanently, and come to US again on h1 thru Company B? do u see any problems at POE or others?
First B1 and then H1 OK . US counsel is going to ask several questions, keep prepare to answer for H1 interview.
please advise,

Thanks
