[USuser1]

Hi,

I am currently on L1b with employer A. and I have H1B COS with employer B effective Oct 1st 2012.

Can I work for L1B ( employer A) from OCt 1st to OCt 15th as notice and then join employer B on OCt 15th or later?

Please let me know if it is legal to work for employer A from Oct 1st to 15th.

Thanks!

It's a status violation.

Don't take chance and give notice to L1-B employer on Sep15th and join H1-B employer on Oct 1st promptly. If you must have to work till Oct 15th with L1-B employer then exit country on Oct 15th and re-enter with H1-B visa. That supersedes status violation.
