[kandy]

I'm in L1B which is valid till March,2009. I have approved H1B with COS. If i have to continue in L1B after October 1st, What i have to do?

I Read the 'Leap Frog' Rule.

Can i travel to canada and come back to U.S after Oct 1st?

or

I have to leave U.S before Oct 1st and Come back after Oct 1st?

Pls advice.

Yes you have to do leap frog.

To save your L1B, you need to travel outsite the US before Oct 01 (e.g Sept 29) and come back only after Oct 01 (e.g. Oct 02) with a new L1B I94.

Also, if you go to canade you may be denied a new I94 if your stay in Canada is less than 30 days.

So better go to your home country.
