Hi,
I am currently working with Company A in the US on L1 visa; and the visa is valid till Apr 2008. In the mean time, another company B has processed my H1B visa; and it is approved with I-94 from Oct 1st 2007. I understand from various forums that I should start working with Company B from Oct 1st 2007; and I can no longer work with company A anymore after Oct 1st. I have the following questions though.
1. If I go to India during Sep 4th week of 2007, and try to come back after Oct 1st, can I come in L1 visa? What will happen to my H1 petition in this case?
2. On what date will the status of the visa be changed from L1 to H1? If I am in India during this visa status change time(if on Oct 1st), what will happen to my visa status?
Can somebody please clarify?
Thanks,
Suresh
