Hi Experts,
Situation : L1 Petition & Visa expiring 5 Sept 2012. I-94 valid till Jan 2015.
My current company X filing H1 next year which if approved will be effective from 1st Oct 2013. (Not filing for L1 extension)
It is asking me that I have to leave by 5th Sept (even though I have I-94 valid) and come back with Stamping ( May be consular approach)
New company Y is also ready to file H1B for me.
Q1 : Is it must that I have to leave by 5th Sept. Is there any approach avoid going out? Its just mere 25 days.
Q2 : Can I try COS approach with ( X or Y ) and work through Oct 2013 on basis of I-94 (L1 extension not filed)?
Q3 : Based on threads, I know by now that I can work, but my company says I can not. So going on leave without pay for 25 days a option as a tie breaker?
Thanks in anticipation
