  • Have H1. Want to travel on L1. is it possible?

    Hi,
    I have a simple question on H1 and L1 visa.

    I am in india and work for company XYZ.
    My H1 got approved and stamped from USA base company ABC.
    Now, my current company XYZ is giving me option to go on L1.

    I am thinking that lets go on L1. If my h1 owner (USA employer) able to find job for me then I move to H1.

    My questions are:
    1. Is it possible to go on L1 with XYZ comp when you have valid H1 visa from USA base company.
    2. Would my h1 visa laps if i go on L1.
    3. is it possible to transfer L1 to H1. if yes then how?

      Have H1. Want to travel on L1. is it possible?

      Hello Sir,
      This I found on the forum:

      "If you apply for L1 - VO at his discretion may cancel the H1b visa. But the petition remains valid as long as your employer wants to and your cap count can be used for any other employer to transfer the H1b

      L1 can still go ahead."

      So, yes L1 is possible BUT h1 may laps.

      My confusion is here:
      1. The petition remains valid as long as your employer wants to
      - means i can do transfer any time from L1 to H1 - if h1 employer wants. Right??

      2. your cap count can be used for any other employer to transfer the H1b
      - If I go on L1 - i can transfer my H1 to any other employer. Right??

      but If h1 rejected then both the above cases not possible. Right??

      Please guide.

        1. Yes, only with USCIS approval of a change of status or travel and return using the H1 visa.
        2. Yes.

        H1b rejection meaning the visa or the petition? If visa is rejected for employer credentials, a new employer can still transfer the petition unless the consulate revokes the petition for fraud.
