Hi,
I have L1 visa stamping valid until 2014 through an employer A. I had H1B COS applied through employer B and got it approved. Once its approved, I have come to India and planned to get H1B stamping. I have already completed nearly 4 years 10 months in L1. Considering the stay in L1, my H1B got approved only for 11 months (a week less than 11 months)
I need help on the following:
1) When I appear for H1B stamping, if my H1B gets rejected for some reason, will my current L1 stamping still be valid? I understand that the L1 visa gets cancelled if my H1B is approved.
2) What will be the ideal answer if I am asked why I am going for H1B stamping when the petition is valid only for 11 months. The employer B who applied for H1B is planning to apply for GC when I start. Can I say this during the interview if VO asks this question.
Appreciate your response.
Thanks!
