Hi,
My L1B visa and I-94 expired on November 15, 2015. Applied for L1B extension. Got RFE and RFE response was submitted by April 21, 2016. The 240 days cut-off ends at Jul 12, 2016.
I have applied for new H1B via different consulting company and my case has been picked in lottery and is under process.
1. My current employer wants to convert L1B extension to PP (so that we can have decision prior to Jul 12, 2016). Does applying L1B extension premium processing is a good idea considering the above scenario ?
2. Do L1B extension approval/denial has any impact on new employer's H1B petition? if L1B extension is rejected, does it cancels the pending H1B petition of new employer ?
3. As new H1B has been filed after L1B I-94 expiry date, is there a chance for COS ?
4. Is there a chance H1B can get approved prior to L1B extension petition ? In this case, if H1B approved earlier and L1B extension rejected later, will this impact the earlier approved H1B petition ?
Can you kindly help as it is urgent (need to confirm L1B extension PP to my current employer in a day). Thanks.
