Travel during COS L1B to H1B process ??

[jnvbhargav]

Hi All,

Currently I am in US with valid I-94(I-94 Valid till sep 2014).My L1B Visa already Expired on 15 Dec 2012. My company is filing COS L1b to H1b and I want to travel India in Mid of May for my marriage.

My Concerns are :

1. Can i travel to India in May during the process of COS L1b to H1b and return US in OCT after my visa approval ??

2. If i go for Premium processing what are the chances to get the Visa status by Mid of May??

3. What are the Other possibilities for me to travel in May and return with H1 ??

4. Is it makes difference if i go for New H1b visa instead of COS L1b to H1b ??

5. Can i process both L1b extension and H1b at the same time ??

Please clarify my concerns .

Thanks in advance.

Leave USA only after H1b is approved. You can come back in USA on L1 visa before Oct 1st.

Good wishes for your marriage !
