Changing to Parent company from Subsidiary without applying for a new visa

[kumaritprof]

Hello All,

I am currently working for/with COMPANY "X" in USA on L1B Visa (Intra Company Transfer). My company is completely owned by COMPANY "Y" which is also in USA. I would like to know if I can join COMPANY "Y" without applying for a new visa. In other words, Can I work for my Parent company (COMPANY "Y") with my current L1B Visa?

Please advise.

Thank you for your response in advance!

Regards,
Kumar

You can work for any subsidiary listed in the I797.

This is my opinion not legal advice.

Thank you for your response. If I797B does not have the information about the parent company name, does it mean that I cannot work for my parent company?

Can I contact USCIS about this question or should I contact an attorney/consulting firm about this?

I don't think so. Check with with your company attorney.
