A consultancy from US sponsored me H1 and I got the petition approved, which is valid until September 30, 2014. I went for visa stamping in March 2012, but was given 221g. The consultancy was delaying in providing the required documents. During the mean time, the company I work in India was ready to sponsor L1 (blanket) and they refused to sponsor H1. Now, I have two questions:
-
Can I go for L1 interview when my previous H1 visa processing is suspended (because I was given 221g)? Will it have any impact in the interview or interview process?
-
Because I have H1 approval from the consultancy, can I change my job since I have approved H1 with COS in future (before September 30, 2014) or is there any condition like the petition expires in a year from approval if not used?
