H1B to L1A then to H1B

[MathiKash]

Hi,

I came to USA in 2011 on H1-B visa, then I have applied for H1-B extension and it got extended to 1 year.

 

Visa details:

Visa - H1B 

Valid - 05/02/2012 to 05/01/2013

 

 

I got my promotion in the mid of 2013,so at the time of H1B expiry my employer converted my H1B visa to L1-A visa(changed status). 

 

By mentioning the following details in I129:

1. Requested Nonimmigrant Classification -> L1A

2. Basis for Classification -> New employment.

3. Requested Action -> Change each beneficiary's status and extend their stay, since he, she or they are all now in the U.S in another status.

 

then i have applied for L1A extension and got approved for 2 years.

 

Now my question is 

 

1. Is possible to use my H1B visa(first visa) and can another employer be able to trasfer the visa?

2. If answer to question 1 is yes, are there any risk in transferring ?

1. Yes. But, you are eligible for 6 years - time spent in US on H1B and L1B.

2. Refer 1. That is the risk.
