L1-GC-H1 query

[revcali]

Hello Experts,

I am currently working on L1B visa which is valid for 4 more years. My company would be filing GC in EB3 for me in this year. I am planning to apply for H1B visa in April 2017 with a different employer and have the below questions. Could you please clarify

1. Can I change the employer and COS to H1B from L1B after my GC is filed with current employer. If Yes, when till when I should serve the current company on L1B.
2. Can i still continue working on L1B visa with out moving to new company even if my H1B petition gets approved by Oct 2017.
3. Do I need to go back to home country for H1B stamping in order to serve a new company after Oct 2017 or Can i just move to new company with approved petition.


Thanks
Revcali
