ineligible for visa

[vageesanr]

I came to US on June 26th 2011 in B1 visa and my i-94 was valid till Dec 25th 2011. I got my L1B i-797 approved on Dec 5th 2011 and my new i-94 was valid till Sep 30th 2014. I traveled back to India on Nov 29th 2012. I had handed over both my i-94s(B1 and L1B) to the airlines. When I went for my visa stamping to Chennai US consulate on Dec 21st 2012, I was informed that I had overstayed in my B1 visa(which was not the case) and hence my status in immigration is updated as "Ineligible for any type of US visa for next 3 years", The consulate gave me a 221(g), applied for a one time waiver and suggested that my company attorney has to deal with the immigration/CBP to correct the situation. My company attorney said that the immigration has apparently updated the B1 i-94 and not the L1 i-94 which might have caused this confusion. He wrote to the CBP and USCIS explaining the situation and asking them to correct the same on Jan 7th 2013. I haven't heard from both the consulate and the CBP till now. Please advise on this situation.

Also, what will happen to my visa status if I leave my company and join another company?

You need to make sure this situation is clarified and your record is clear. They will take their own time to do this, there is no way to predict how long it will take.

If you have a copy of your last I-94, share that with your attorney to prove that you were not out of status. Your visa processing will become invalid when you change job.
