Hi I have L1B currently and another company has applied for my H1B, which is still in processing status. Once H1b is approved, is it mandatory that I need to convert to H1B. can i decide whether to continue with L1B or go for H1B. If i continue L1b then what happens to my H1B. Please clarify. What is the legal process for conversion.

If your H1B gets approved as COS then you need to exit and re-enter US with a valid L1B visa and approval notice to get a new L1B I94 to keep working in L1B.
