l1b to H1B COS while L1B extn is in progree

[kumars7070]

Hi

I have L1B Visa Status and I94, both till 8^th Sep, 2013 with Company A. Company B is ready to file my H1B with COS.Please help me with possible answers on below case.

Company B applies for H1B with COS in April ‘2013 and Company A applies for L1B Extn in May’2013.

By October 1^st, 2013: H1B approved first and L1B Extn is still in process. Can I switch over to Company B? If so what will happen to my L1B Extn? Is it legal to stay in USA from 8^th Sep’2013 to 1^st Oct’2013?

Basically my question is , Can I move to Company B (Who sponsors my H1B), while my L1B Extn is in progress? Is there any chance i will refall again into L1B ?

Thanks,

Suresh.

H1 without COS and PP and if approved leave at some time and come back on the H1 visa at the appropriate time.
