  • L1 to H1B COS

    I am with Company A on L1 visa valid till Nov-2010.
    I Entered US in June-2008 and got the I-94 till Jan-2011.
    Company B processed H1B which got approved effective oct 1st-2008.I never got the paper work.Only recently,Company B updated me that my H1 was filed with COS and its I-94 date was Jan-2010.Now,I am planning to go out of the country and come back on L1 as I have a valid L1 Visa till Nov-2010.

    Can I enter with my L1 again? will there be any problem in the port of entry?
    will my current L1 employer ever come to know about this?

    Please respond

    >>> Possible. There are chances that you may face issues at POE / future visa stamping. You employment with the L1 employer past Oct 2008 is illegal, since your status changed to H1B. I would suggest you to consult a good immigration lawyer.

    will my current L1 employer ever come to know about this?
    >>> Not unless you tell them.
