My Visa is expiring Jan 2014 and I-94 date is July 2015, is that valid to work till the I-94 expiry date ? Will there be any problem when I apply a new US visa next time?

You can work on valid I-94, as long as you haven't exhausted the time limitations on the particular status (L1B - 5 Years, L1-A - 7 Years, H1B -6 Years etc)Originally posted by gogreen View Post
Only thing is if you leave US after Jan 2014, for any reason, you would need to attend a new visa stamping interview in order to get a new visa to allow you re-entry.
This is my opinion not legal advice. -
Is that possible to apply for a new H1B and change to that with in US even if the L1B/ L2B visa is expired but with a non expired I-94 document ?Originally posted by raghvi View PostComment

A new H1 will start from 01-Oct-2014 onwards, as your I-94 is expiring beyond that , yes you can apply for a Change of Status from L1 to H1 next year.Originally posted by gogreen View Post
Couple of things you do need to take care, once L1 to H1 Status Change is approved, you should work only with the H1 employer, from H1 approval date (01-Oct-2014 or later). You cannot work with L1 employer post H1 COS approval.
If you travel out of US things will change and the situation would have to be reviewed again.
