Dear Saurabh,
I am currently in L1-B for Company A and the visa is expired on 9th Mar 2013 but i have a valid I-94 till Aug 7th 2013. So the company A saying they will apply for L1 renewal 2 months before I-94 expiration.
I am trying to apply H1 through Company B on Apr 1st 2013 ( i believe through CoS). Once this is in-progress, my company A would be applying for my renewal in Jun 2013.
-
Will this cause a conflict and my H1 change of status application becomes void after the L1 renewal goes to USCIS or they both will be treated as 2 different requests?
-
Will I get RFE on my L1 about the conflicting information and my employer A would be notified?
-
What would be final status in Oct if both H1 approved and then L1 renewal is approved?
-
Is there a chance both H1 and L1 approved? If so can i continue in L1 with Company A and move to H1 once i get the right job opportunites?
-
Worst case, if my L1 is rejected in Aug 2013 and fortunately i got the approval for H1 then can i stay in the country with the H1 and start working from Oct 2013?
Please help! I am in a tricky situation.
Thanks Babu
