Hi,
I am currently working in U.S. since Jan06 (on L1B visa) for Employer A.
I got an offer from Employer B who is ready to sponsor my H1B. So, I transfered the necessary documents to Employer B.
Today, my current Employer(A) informed me that I need to visit India for a period from 09th July 06 to 31st July 06.
I informed Employer B about my travel plan. They told that I can not leave US as my Change of Status(L1 to H1) is in process. As per them, if I travel to India my Change of Status will get denied.
Please confirm whether it is true. Also,
1. If yes, I would like to know why it should get denied when my H1 would be valid from 01 Oct06; and I would be travelling to and from India on my current valid L1 visa.
2. Can you suggest me a better way out in this situation as I must(since its official work) travel to India and come back by 31st July 06.
Please respond as soon as possible.
Thanks,
BOK
