Hello,

Here's is my story.
I first came to the US on Macrh 2007 on L1B visa. My L1 is valid till Dec 2009.
This year (2008) I applied for H1B visa through a consultant. He applied it with COS. My application was picked up in the lottery and went to USCIS for processing. Till today my application is pending with the USCIS per their website.
I asked the consultant to send me the receipt where I can be assured that the EAC number is mine. He sent me the scanned copy and I saw the number does belong to me.

To save my L1B visa and void the COS, I had to leave US on Sept 25 and I came back on Oct 06 on L1B visa with a new I94.

My questions are:

1) Now, if my H1 gets approved anytime after Oct 06, will it be a automatic change of status from L1 to H1 ?

2) I have the latest I94 of L1. Is this the latets one that the USCIS will consider ?

3) My consulatnt does not know about the travel. Will he receive any notice by USCIS ?

4) Will USCIS give me a H1 I94 without my notice?

5) Will USCIS create any problems for me ?

6) Will the consultant create any problems for me ?

7) What should my plan of action be given the fact that I want to work on L1B ?

Please reply. I'm tensed

It depends on whether H1 comes with I-94. without I94, you'll be on L1. If it comes with I-94, travel to Canada or Mexico and enter the US again with L1.
2) I have the latest I94 of L1. Is this the latets one that the USCIS will consider ?
Yes, at this moment
3) My consulatnt does not know about the travel. Will he receive any notice by USCIS ?
No
4) Will USCIS give me a H1 I94 without my notice?
May be or may be not.
5) Will USCIS create any problems for me ?
No, i guess.

6) Will the consultant create any problems for me ?
no
7) What should my plan of action be given the fact that I want to work on L1B ?
Wait for H1 and then decide the course of action.

Please reply. I'm tensed
