I was working in USA from 2009 to 2012 on H1B for an company (Say A), in 2011 my visa was due expiry so I had to get an H1 extension, which is now valid through Aug 2014. I left USA in Jan 2012, and also left the company A later in the year in Sep 2012, and joined another company B.
Now an company C in USA wants to hire me and I am interested in working with them too. Company C HR/attorney are suggesting me to join their Indian office, and then they would be able to get me to USA on a L1 VISA.
I have few questions,
1. Now that I am not employed by company C yet (nor by their regional office), will they be able be get me USA as soon as they hire me? As far a I have read on the forums, I understand one needs to be working for at-least 1 year for that company to be eligible for L1 processing?
2. Now that I already have a H1 extention till Aug 2014 (company A as petitioner), can I go for Visa stamping with new invitation letter from company C ?
3. Does company C have to file a new H1 petition?
