fama2011 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hi, I am currently on L1A for past 2 years and I just got extension to stay 2 more years till Feb 2014. I am looking for better prospects? so please advice me on the following 1. If I file H1B with a new employer in 2012? When do I need to start with the new employer? 2. if My H1B is approved and effective from Oct 2012 with the new employer? Will I lose my L1 A status? 3. I want to continue on L1A till Feb 2014 and then use H1B, is that possible? Thanks Link to comment
JoeF Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 An H1 can be filed up to 6 months before the start date, provided the quota isn't full. If you want to stay on L1 until Feb. 2014, an H1 couldn't be filed until Sep. 2013. Link to comment
