HI,
I need some advise..
Right now I am on my L1 visa, and my company asked me to proceed to apply for H1 (along with PERM.. which i haven't started yet). I am not really sure what is the advantage of H1B over L1, as i am not planning to change company.. I am not working in a services/bodyshopping company(that i don't have to go work at other companies) Anyhow, my issue now is something else..
I was told that once H1B application is done, I shouldn't leave US until october. Otherwise, If my H1 is approved, my visa won't automatically upgraded to H1.. I'll have to exit US again, apply for "Activating" it in the other country and re-enter by H1 (And that my company will not bear the expense of that second-time activity), And i can't postpone my trip i had planned for in the immediate future.. My question is, If my H1 is approved (I believe it takes until sep/oct), and i apply for stamping in india (during my visit next year), will it just be a "stamping" process? Or will it be another make or break type of interview?
Thanks
Raj
