H1B petition approved not stamped, Can I go for L1B visa interview?

USA L1, L2 Visa
1

Hi,

I have multiple questions. Please help me with your suggestions/ Answers.

I currently work for employer ABC and they are asking me to go for L1B (Blanket), visa stamping. I have H1B petition approved but not stamped with Employer XYZ. I don’t have H1B approved petition copy. All I have is case number.

  1. Can I go for L1B visa interview and will nothing happen to my H1B petition?

  2. Since I haven’t travelled on my H1B, Can I transfer my H1B petition from employer XYZ to employer ABC?

  3. Is it possible to transfer my H1B petition to employer ABC without having case copy?

Please help.

1. You can go for L1B visa interview. The H1B approved petition stays unaffected if you are in your home country or country of application.

#2. I think employer ABC wants you to go for the L1 route. Telling them about approved H1B from employer XYZ may not be a good idea or it will be great news for them. Can you find out more as to what company ABC wants without disclosing too much information?

#3. ABC will need a case copy because USCIS will not share this information with anyone even with your permission. Can you request it from XYZ?

Thank you Shankar.

#3. XYZ won’t share case copy. Is there a fastest way to get case copy from USCIS?
