Kathirkutti Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Hi , I am currently working in L1B and my petition got expired on 11/06/2016 but my i-94 valid through 01/21/2019. My employer applied extension for my petition and now its in RFE status. I checked with my company Atroney and he confirmed i can work till 01/21/2019(i-94 date) even my petition got denied with no international travel . My question is 1. can i apply H1B through different employer using my I94 validity for change of status even my petition got denied? 2. can i apply L1A if L1B extension got denied? Thanks in advance Link to comment
JoeF Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 The H1 quota is full. A new H1 can only be filed in April 2018 for a start date of Oct. 2018. For an L1A you need to be in a managerial position. Link to comment
Kathirkutti Posted April 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Hi Joe, I am sorry , i applied H1B for 2018 cap. Yesterday, I came to know from my employer its picked and shared the receipt number to check the status in online. Now my question is my L1B extension is in RFE right now with my current employer, will it create any problem to my H1B approval if my L1B extension got denied but my I-94 is valid as i mentioned earlier?. Thanks in advance. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Assuming a blanket L1 why did the employer file a L1 extension which was plainly not needed? Link to comment
Kathirkutti Posted May 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 I had a travel plan on Dec 2016, so that they applied my extension. I applied Aug 2016 and now its went to RFE, In the mean time my H1B got picked in lottery from company X. will it create any issue for my H1b approval if L1B extension got denied? Link to comment
