vig Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Hi I need advice on my following case: I have L1 which is valid till 30th October 2018. My employer applied for my H1B in April'18 with COS from L1 to H1B. My H1B has been picked in the lottery but so far no news on approval. My question is if I do not get my H1B approved before 30th October 2018, please advise if there is any process to fill the gap from L1 expired till H1b decision (approved or denied, whatever it is!) Thanks VG Link to comment
NotAnAttorney Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 I don't think there is any as is. IS your company not ready to file L1 extension to cover meantime? Link to comment
vig Posted September 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 L1 extension option has already exhausted. Link to comment
JoeF Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 You have to stop working when the L1 expires. You are legal to stay in the US while the H1 petition is pending, but you can NOT work past the L1 expiration with an approved H1. Link to comment
