Hi,
I am currently in L1B and had applied for H1B conversion in my company. But around March this year, my wife got a good job opportunity (in L2 EAD) and her company said it was too late for converting her to H1B for this year. So to ensure that her job/visa/EAD is not affected, I requested my company to scrap by H1B conversion case and they also responded that they deleted my case. But now they have come back to me saying that, by mistake, during April first week they sent my case along with rest of the cases to USCIS for H1B conversion. Now I need your help/advice on the below questions.
1) When am I officially approved for an H1B visa? As soon as I am through the lottery or at a later point when my petition gets approved after submitting some SOW/Client letters?
2) Is there any way of stopping my H1 conversion now?
3) What happens if i get selected in the lottery and I still apply for an L1B to L1A conversion? (yes I am eligible for L1A)
4) I also see some comments about travelling out of US during October 1st week and coming back after a week so that I come back in L1 visa itself. Is that an option? My L1B expires on Oct 27, 2016 (i94 expiry is April 14, 2017). Will my visa expiry cause a problem in this option?
Appreciate your help/advice in this in advance.
Thanks!
