pontevecchio Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Why are you not intending to join the H1 sponsor? Link to comment
tach Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Thanks for the reply. I am willing to join H1 sponsor. But before joining the sponsor I am ensuring I am doing the right thing. Am I good to join H1 Sponsor , even though my L1B Extension got RFE and yet to repond to RFE, wanted to make sure I am doing the right thing. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Resign from your L1 job. If the COS was approved then you cannot work for the L1 employer. Link to comment
Ateeq Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Ask employer B how did they file your H1? was it as H1 with "change of status" or "without change of status". If filed as H1 change of status, then you can no longer work for employer A. You are on H1 and your L1 has become invalid. If filed as H1 without change of status, then you are still with company A on L1. for you to change , you either need to make a new change of status application while continuing to stay in US or go out of US get H1 stamped at the foreign cosulate.

tach Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 I am waiting to see Physical documents ,if it approved with COS/CP. I think I have to wait and continue in L1B job till I see the documents. Once I receive the physical documents , how soon should I join H1B employer if approved with COS. Thanks Link to comment
