L1B to H1B - quite complicated situation. - greatest dailama in life

Hi All,
I have a complicated situation!!

when I was working in India, I work for XYZ company and applied for L1B after that I applied for H1B from a consultant from USA . The company which is appling H1B for me asked me to show 3+ exp where I have 2 years exp. I have gap after my engg degree for a year so I made that as exp. After I applied for H1B, my company asked me to attend L1b which they applied before the other company filed H1B. I attended and got my L1B. now I am in USA and my H1B got approved after a couple of months I am in USA. Now I have greatest dailama in my life.

1) If my H1B is rejected , what happens to my L1B?
2) Since my L1B is 2 years exp and H1B is 3+ years exp, will this pose any problem. ( My consultant asked me to say that i was traineee for ayear in xyz company)
3) What happens if they find that I have made up some exp? what are the worst possible scenarios?

Please, Please, Please, let me know. Your help is highly appriciated.

Thanks,
Laxmi.

New Delhi H1B appointment on 31-Jan-07

Dear friends,

This is my first post here. I had an appointment initially @ Chennai Consulate on 12/22/06 but my H1B papers were missed in the mail, so I had to re-schedule the appointmnet. During the process of rescheduling I had selected New Delhi with out my knowledge. Now, I have got my papers now. I was just wondering whether to cancel my appointment @New Delhi or go there. Which consulate is better? New Delhi/Chennai? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Makkena
