Need help..Please advice

Hello,

I am working for Organisation A on L1B visa and planning to apply for H1B through Organisation B.
My current L1 expires on Sep 2 2014.
Can I go and get my H1 stamped some time in June/July 2014, if I get my petition approved and can I continue working on L1 till September?
Would I be able to work on L1B after I do H1 stamping? Or will my L1 gets cancelled once H1 stamping is done.

Thanks
Ankur

When you go for H1 stamping your existing L1 will most likely get cancelled then you wouldn't be able to renter on the L1 , even if visa is not cancelled, and you re enter on L1 in order to move to H1 the employer B would have to file another COS in order for you to work on H1.

This is my opinion. Ot legal advice.
