Hi,
I am currently working for Company A on L1B. I also have an approved H1B (I-797) Consular petition with start date of Oct 1'st 2008. This petition is counted once against the cap of H1B. But, I have not yet "activated" this by visiting US consulate in India and getting H1B Stamped. So, my current status is still L1B.
- If I wish to change employer to Company B, can I use my approved, but not activated H1B ? That is, trasnfer the H1B directly to Company B, without first changing my status to H1B/activating H1B
- If I can do this, since my L1B Status will expire as soon as I leave company A, what status will I be in when working for Company B.
- Is it mandatory in this case that Company B apply for a COS along with transfer of H1B from my current employer(Company A)
- If Company B refuses to do a COS in US itself, how long do I have after joining Company B to go to Canada/India/Mexico to get my H1B Stamped
Thanks much !!
