I am working for employer A on L1B and applied for COS (Change of Status) to H1B through employer B in May 2012. I went on vacation to India in Jul 2012 for a month and I returned back to US on L1B. When the COS was approved in Oct 2012, I was not issued I94 stating that I was out of country in Jul 2012. Can you please advice what is my current status and what are the options for me to work for employer B on H1B now ?
Talk to the attorney and see if they can make the ammendment to the petetion to make it COS. other wise you have to leave the country and re-enter, which is not suggested.
Your COS was not approved. You left the country while H-1 was in process and so COS was abandoned and consequently no I-94 was issued. I don’t see any issues over here and USCIS did the right thing. Your current status is L-1
To work for B, either file a separate COS application or enter US on stamped H-1 visa.
