I'm working in the US on L1 visa for company A. I applied for my H1 this year (2008) through companyB. It got selected in the lottery. EmployerB applied with COS from L1 to H1. I see that the my H1 is still not approved. It's Aug 28 today and still it's pending.
I spoke to the employer B, they say we need to wait till they approve . Nonody can predict when this will be approved. I have the following questions".
a) He mentioned that H1 approval may take January 09 also
Is this correct ?
b) I know that on Oct 01 2008 a person can work on H1 if it's approved. I also know that all fresh H1 cases are approved before Oct 01. Is this true ?
c) I'm planning to do leap frog to save my L1B visa. If my case is not approved before my date of travel (Sept 12), then what will the status of my H1 be ?
d) I'm planning to come baxk to US on Oct 10 after Leap frog on my L1 Visa. So if my Visa gets approved after Oct 10, will my status will automatically get converted into H1 then ? Also, what should I do to save my L1 at that time ?
Please respond. I'm really tensed.
