Here is my current situation and I need some help in deciding the next course of action.
· I work for a Employer A and I am on L1-A visa (valid up to Sep 2015). In April this year, I have filed for H1B thru’ Employer B. My application was picked up in the lottery and I got a confirmation from my attorney from Employer B that my H1B was approved on 7/2/2013. (with Change of Status option)
· Now Employer A wants to file GC for me in EB1 category. I worked as a senior manager back in India for Employer A for couple of years before coming to USA.
Now my questions are
1> Will my L1A status become void automatically on Oct 1st and should I start working for Employer B from Oct 1st on H1B?
2> What are my options of not starting with Employer B from Oct 1st ? (I mean deferring the start date, if possible)
3> If my GC process thru’ Employer A gets started between now and Oct 1st, is there an option for me to continue working for Employer A (on L1A) until I hear the decision on my 485? (Can I apply for EAD in EB1 category?)
*Employer A is a multi-national IT services giant with head-quarters in India. Employer B is an American consulting firm that employs more than 75% GC holders/Citizens.
