A petitioner may ordinarilly file a petition requesting a change of status from L1B to H1B for the beneficiary. However, the H1B may still be subject to the cap.

If petitioner file a petition requesting a change of status from L1B to H1B for the beneficiary subject to the cap 2012; as beneficiary L1B completed 5 year stay how long can beneficiary expect to get H1 duration for can expect another 3 years?

Time spent in L-1 status counts against a foreign national's 6-year limit in H1B status.
