L1 A visa still valid after changing employer?

[ibag993]

Hello team,

I have a valid L1 A visa tied to the blanket petition number of my previous employer. Does anyone know if this visa is still valid or what do I need to do if I want to travel to USA?
Is it mandatory to apply for a B1/B2 visa and if so, will the L1 A visa be canceled in the moment when the B1/B2 gets approved?

Thank you very much in advance for your feedback!

L1A is not valid anymore if you changed your employer. Yes you need to have alternate entry method viz., another visa (like B1/B2) or ESTA, etc. You can have multiple types of valid visas stamped in your passport at any given time.
