Hi All,
Would like to seek guidance from expert on this forum-
I have worked in India from 2011 to July 2013 for Company A. Company A then sponsored my L1-B visa and I came to USA in August 2013 (L1B visa valid till Feb 2016). I opted for COS from L1-B to H1B in Feb 2014 and have been on H1B since Feb 2014 working for Company B.
Recently Company A has confirmed filling GC and I now intend to move back to them under L1-B visa issued earlier (They are OK for me rejoining them). As I had spent more than 1 overseas, I hope I am eligible for EB1.
Could someone please clarify -
1. Can I change status from H1 to L1B?
2. if I join them back in USA, am I eligible for EB1 (assuming I had worked with them until 2013 in India)
3. What is the COS process from H1 to L1? Considering L1B visa is valid till Feb 2016, can I just move out of country and reenter under updated visa category (L1)?
4. DO I have sufficient time for EB1 approval (L1b visa is valid till Feb 2016)?
Appreciate your help.
Regards
A
