Hi,

I am in India with a L1B visa stamped and my company will take a while to send me to US on an assignment.

My husband is in US on H1 B.

1. If i apply for H4 will myL1B visa be canceled by the officer in consulate?.

2. In case office does not cancel and I hold both L1B and H4 visa, After I enter US on H4 visa can I change my status to L1B once my employer has an assignment for me. Will I have to do COS from H4 to L1B or will I need to leave the country and re-enter on L1. If I have to leave the country for re-entry can I go to Canada?

3. I will be applying for H1B visa without COS on Apr 1st 2009. When I go to H4 stamping (planning to go during May 2009) do I have to mention about it in the DS 156 or 157 forms.

Please advice. Thanks for your help.

Thanks.

Hi Subacini,

Could you let me know if your L1 was cancelled after your H4 stamping?

I am in a similar situation - I hold an L1B visa, but currently need to apply for an H4 to be with my spouse who is in US on H1B.

From your experience, could you gather the answers to the questions that you have asked above? If so, request you to share them.

Thanks,
Sarath
