Dear experts,
Please advise.
Background -
I have 2 US visas (B1/B2 & H1b) both stamped on my passport. My B1/B2 was stamped for 10 years and has 2 years validity left. My H1 was initially stamped on my passport through employer A in Dec 2012 till September 2015 on which I have never traveled to US.
Questions -
1) Can I travel to US on my B1/B2 and can get my status changed in US once I have an offer through company X.
2) Does the 6 years count begin once I enter in US on H1 or ist when the petition was last approved.
3) What happens if I travel on B1/B2 will the immigration officer cancel my H1?
4) Once an employer X file for I 129 do I have to be out of states till my I 129 petition gets approved?
5) What is the success rate of such conversion from B1/B2 to H1 where both are approved?
Please advise.
