Carthik Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 I came to US on L-1b (jan 2006 to March 2008) then my company filed L-1A blanket ( Jan 2009 to till date) my L-1A visa is going to expire in october 2013, my present ( I am on 7th Year Now ) company will file another 2 yr extension against my L1A on Aug,2013.. but am planning to move to another employer through H-1b (COS) My question is 1) Am planning for vacation in august 2013 so you want me to file COS now or once i am back to US which one is better 2) if they file COS (Approved) can i work from day one or i have to wait till October 3) COS will cone under CAP or NON CAP
binoca82 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 I think I am not clear how you can stay on L1A beyond 7 years? L1A maxout after 7 years. Or Am I missing something here ? Anyway, your COS to H1 will be subject to the cap and you can start working only from Oct 1 (or the start date in the H1 petition approval notice). Also, it is not advisable to travel while COS is pending.
