Hi Fellows,

I have some questions on which I am seeking the expert opinion of this knowledgeable group.

My GC was applied in Nov 2010 and is pending decision. Now, my L1 is expiring in 3 months time and hence my company is getting ready to file for an H1B for me so that I have an underlying non-immigrant visa if GC was to be denied. I am not clear on what would be my state and have the following questions:

1. Will applying for H1B, create any issue with my pending GC case?

2. If my H1B approval comes through, before the GC, what will be my status?, since the H1B will come with a new I-94. i.e. will I be switched to H1B automatically, from current status L1? If yes, will it cause any issues with my GC application since we mentioned my current status as L1.

3. If my H1B approval comes through, after the GC, what will be my status?, since the H1B will come with a new I-94. i.e. will I be automatically switched to H1B, from PR status? If yes, how to go back to PR status?

Kindly shed some light on the above, to help clarify the situation.
