Hi ,
I am currently in US with L1B I94 extension with company X. I will be completing 5 years in 08-06-2014 (on L1B extension with I-94 expiry date 08-06-2014). So no extension or conversion to L1A is possible. But my H1B has been selected in the lottery with company Y for 2014 and hoping that everything turns out to be good so that it can be effective from Oct 2014. Since H1 will only be effective from Oct 2014, what are the options I have to stay back in US for the period from 08-06-2014 till 10-01-2014?. Can I go on a Business Visa and apply when I am in the US?. This considering that I need to leave company X on or before I94 expiry and new company has to sponsor the B1 Visa. I don't want to travel back to India and come back again as stamping back in India is too risky. Please advise.
