L1 to H1 status change

[Venky1977]

Hi
I am working in L1 for last 2.5 years in company X. My L1 is valid till Feb 2008. I got H1 approval on Dec 2006 from company Y and its valid till Oct 2009. I need to get stamped to change my status to H1. Now I am planning to get stamp.
Can i get the stamping in Canada without any issue? I havent done any degree in USA.

Please suggest me how can I proceed now. Let me know what will happend if my visa refused in Canada?. Can I come back to US with my L1 visa if my H1 is refused.
My employer forcing me to have a try to get stamp in Canada.
I need ur valuable guidence on this.

If they reject your H1, they wont cancel you L1. So if you still work with the same company you can come back.

-This is not legal advice.
