Attorney_23 Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 If the H1B is approved as a change of status with an immediate start date, you would need to stop working on L-1 as soon as the H1B is approved. There is no grace period. Note that the earliest start date on an H1B cap case is October 1, 2023. So, if the petition is approved as a change of status before October 1, the approval would typically not impact your existing status until October 1. Quote Link to comment
