Hello TxH1B,
I've a friend who is in the US working for company A on L1B visa.
She's got her H1 filed from company B in may 2008. His name was picked up in the lottery and processing started.
Company B applied with COS from L1 to H1. He came to know about it in Aug 2008 and at that time the H1 processing was pending.
So he travelled to India on Sept 10 2008 and came back to the US on L1B on Oct 10 2008 with new I94 because he wanted to work on L1B visa for company A.
After coming to the US on Oct 1 , he found that the H1B processing was pending. In Nov 2008, the employer B told him that he's got an RFE and need to respond to it. He wanted a few documents for the responding to the RFE.
The employer B responded and till date the status on the USCIS website shows "Response to the Request received and the procesing has resumed".
I've the following questions:
1) Can this RFE create any type of problems with his current L1B status ?
2) If the H1 is approved any time now, will he be automatically in H1B ?
3) If (2) is yes, what should one do to remain on L1B ?
I know the travel has void the H1 COS but just need an assurance from you. Sorry if the questions are repetitive in nature.
Thank you.
