Hello,
In company ABC, I had my L1B and during the end of 4th year in US, I got it upgraded to L1A and utilized close to 6.5 yrs in US continuously and exited US during sep 2014. I also had H1B consular approval ( but no change of status ) processed by XYZ company and valid until 2013. due to some reasons I didn't utilize H1.
Now its more than one year since I moved out of US. I am applying L1A again. If for some reasons my L1A gets screwed up, I would like to utilize the H1 that was unused. the questions are,
1. Though the consular approval expired , I heard thru attorneys that I can still file H1 without falling under the lottery as I am already under the cap due to the previous approval. Is this true?
2. If the answer is YES for the above question, can I transfer the H1 from XYZ to ABC company?
Any suggestions here will help.
