L1B to H1 Transfer?
I've been in the US with CompanyA for 1.5 years and have another year remaining in my L1B. Due to personal reasons I have to quit CompanyA but I want to stay back in the US and work for another company.
I know filing an H1 is possible but wouldn't happen until I file in Apr 2013 and get approved in Oct 2013 which is going to be really a long wait. What options do I have considering the fact that I have to quit my current company very soon...
1) Will I be able to transfer from L1 (from CompanyA) to L1 (of CompanyB) immediately?
2) Will I be able to transfer from L1 (from CompanyA) to H1 (of CompanyB) immediately?
3) Assuming one of the above is possible, What would be the earliest I can legally start working for another company?
4) If above is not possible, what other options do I have to be able to stay back and work for another company in the US?
Any info would highly be appreciated since this is a matter of urgency and part of few major decisions I have to take. Thanks in advance
