L1 to H1B conversion - what happens in between?

[tanmoy]

hello,

my L1B visa and I94 is expiring on June, and my company is applying for H1 that will be active from October. So, what happens between June and October. My company personnel tells I have to go back to India as they cant file an extension for 3 months. My question to the forum is that there must be something because this would be a fairly common scenario, isnt it?

thanks,

tanmoy
