I'm currently working for an American company in London, and they're looking to send me to the US on the L1. I understand that the total amount of time possible on the L1 (with extensions) is 7 years. I also see that the H1B can last, with extensions, up to 6 years. Is it possible to do these visas back-to-back, without leaving the US for one year, to have a total of 13 continuous years in the US? Or will the time spent on the L1 count toward the time that I could spend on the H1B, so that the maximium time I could spend continuously in the US is 7 years?
Does anyone know if there is a specific legal provision in the CFR or elsewhere that deals with this?
Thanks for any assistance.
