Hi,
I am currently in US on L1 valid till 2011 from employer X and there is employer Y who is ready to sponser my H1 for FY 2010 quota as visas are still available.
My employer Y is interested in filing my Fresh H1 with copy of my current I-94(to show that I am currently in US).
Employer Y says that if my H1 gets approved for example on 15th of Jan then I can serve my notice period of 2 months to my employer X(I am on L1 with x) and then join Y and then my employer Y will give me the new I-94 received for USCIS.
Employer Y says that he doesn't need to do any processing any more with the USCIS once I jon them and there is no need to inform USCIS about my status change. Does it mean that I am already on H1 status. In such a case how much time I do have at my hand to join the H1 employer as I need to serve the notice period of L1 employer and complete my project.
I am having doubts whether if I follow this then whether I will going out of my valid status.
What options do I have if I want to join employer Y in 6-8 months time till that I want to work on L1 from now without going out of status and without going out of US.
Thanks
