Hi, I am in troublesome situation and seeking for help....
I am in US with my Wife. We applied for L1B extension via company A in US and got RFE for myself while wife's case is still under initial review as per USCIS status.
Now i have to reply on RFE by 1st Jan 2012, so i can stay till that day in US. Meanwhile my I94 also got expired after filling L1 extension.
So as per current situation because my VISA is expired and I94 expired, so i can not file any VISA in US but can stay till the date of RFE response given b y USCIS.
Now my same Employer A is filling my New H1B from India under Premium processing. So my question is.....
1. In case my H1B is approved, do i need to go out of US to get the passport stamped with New Visa H1B ? in order to start working on H1B. Note that the employer is same for L1B as well as H1B.
2. Can i continue working in US without stamping on passport just on the basis of H1B approval and later on whenever i go out of US then get it stamped ?
3. I heard that there's the way to change the status in US from L1B to H1B via employer. Can any one provide some details on that?
I called the situation troublesome due to the fact that my wife is pregnant and in 6.5 month of pregnency, So looking for the way to avoid going out of US for any sort of stamping and try to continue here on H1B while waiting to reply on RFE of L1B premium extension. My wife is due by 10th Feb 2012, so looking for the way to stay in US till that day. My Employer is also helpfull and trying to avoid that situation via whatever possible means.
Early response is appriciated and thanks in advance for your help.
