L1 to H1 query

[pujak]

Hi,
I came to US on an L1 visa filed by employer A.
The visa has expired now but the I94 is still valid.
However another employer B filed for my H1 while I was in the US and it has been approved now.
The new H1 has my I94 number and says that starting 1 October 2005 my new employer is employer B.
My question is
Can i continue being on payrolls of employer A as my new employer has not been able to find a project for me.
Employer B says that he has checked with a lawyer that I can continute working on payrolls of employer A as long as I want which I am not too sure of.
If yes, is there a limit?
If not, Will my new H1 get canceled automtically.

Hi,
If you have received a new I 94 for your H1B, it means that your status has changed from L1 to H1B, and you should start working for the H1B Co. immediately. I think you should check it out with an immigration lawyer yourself rather than believing the Co.'s words.
