anbt Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hi All, Kindly help me out on this. I am on L1 visa (expired ) working for X company and I have valid i-94 visa until june 2015. I have applied H1 through Y and it is approved with COS effective from Oct 1,2014. Unfortunately the client for which my H1 employer -Y has applied is put the project on hold. So right now I do not have project to join. since Oct 1,2014 is almost here, my H1 employer Y is suggesting to be with L1 employer-X till I get the project. Also, H1 Employer - Y told that I just need to apply for leave and continue with L1 employer-X. Is that correct that I can stay with L1 employer-X beyond COS effective date Oct 1, 2014 by giving/applying leave? Please help me with this. Appreciate your help. Link to comment
jairichi Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 No you cannot. To keep working for L1 employer beyond Oct 1st you need to exit US on Oct 1st and enter with a valid L1 visa and I797. If not you have to stop working for L1 employer from 1st Oct. You have 60 days to report to H1B employer from Oct 1st. Link to comment
JoeF Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 From Oct. 1, you are in H1 status, and you can NOT work for the L1 employer anymore. The H1 employer is obviously shady, a fraud, since he suggested doing something illegal. Link to comment
