Hi my COS is approved for L1B to H1B. I am planning to go to India and come back before Oct 1st, 2012. I have few doubts that I want to clear in this forum. My L1B is till Dec 23rd, 2012 and planning for vacation from July 15 to Aug 15, 2012.
1.) I have two I-94 now with same number, one that I got when I entered US and one with the approved petition. Do I need to submit both the I-94s when leaving US?
2.) When I come back I will enter on L-1B visa, Do I need to file COS again or it will covert my status to H1B automatically on Oct 1st, 2012?
3.) I will be having a new I-94 with L1 and Dec 23rd, 2012 written on it. How i will be having I-94 for H1B with expiry Sep 30, 2015?
4.) Do I need to do I-9 (Employer verification two times). One, when I will come back with new I-94 and Second, on Oct 1st, 2012? And on Oct 1st, 2012 which I-94 number I need to use (if I still have I-94 that has come with approval notice)?
I may come up with more doubts, when somebody answers my above doubts.
Thanks
