Hi. I am currently working in USA for 3.5 years under L1B Visa from Company A. The L1B visa will take another 1.5 years to expire. I am expecting an offer from Company B who says he will process H1B for me. What are the best options available to Company B to process H1 for me? How sooner can I expect to work under new employer?
I see some threads mentioning that mention abt Change of Status (COS) or Consular Processing (CP). Are those something can be availed for faster processing of my H1B visa approved or will it still anyways take some 6 months (Oct 2013) to be eligible to work under Company B even my H1B got approved sooner?
Also during which status of my petition I can quit from Company A?
I am seeing no concrete answers on this situation and would require an expert's opinion on the same. If you have any other suggestions, then please let me the same.
Thanks,
Kumar
