L1A to H1B and back to L1A -Leap Frog

[Sanjay1234]

Hi,

My L1A Visa and petition with current employer expires on 29 August 2012. I have I-94 till 20 Sep 2014.

Now I have applied for H1B by another employer . But now I do NOT want to shift to other employer on H1B.

Can I request my current employer to file extension of my current L1A petition. Can my extension for L1A be filled or it can filled only when 6months is left on I-94.

Or

I do not have any choice but shift to new H1B employer. Pl help

Is the H1B petition still pending? If so, why not just have the other employer withdraw the H1B petition?

Thanks for reply....

The friend who referred me to new employer is not ready to listen ,that his reputation is at stake and I should not withdraw the H1 petition.

.

So easy solution for me is ask for filling L1A petition by current employer after H1 comes. So final legal status is L1.

The scenario you are describing may not be as simple as you believe. There are a number of factors you will need to consider to ensure you do not violate your status. I recommend you schedule a consult with an experienced attorney who can review your documents and your immigration history, and then advise you on how best to proceed.
