H1BExtn2008 Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 I am currently on H1B. My employer is applying my Change of Status to L1A application in premium processing, which will reach USCIS before current I-94 expiry date. In case I have to travel out of the country before I receive a decision, will the application be considered abandoned or it would be referred to consular processing? Link to comment
jairichi Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Application will be processed but COS will be considered abandoned. Link to comment
H1BExtn2008 Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Thanks Jairichi. If I assume that everything is as expected for L1A, would USCIS approve application (and refer to consular processing). Or would it be denied since I left the US? Application will be processed but COS will be considered abandoned. Link to comment

If everything is fine your petition will get approved with consular processing. Link to comment
