Hi

I think your reply was wrong. YOu cannot change from one L1A to another L1 within the US because the basic requirement for one to qualify for L1 is that one should have worked with the L1 sponsoring company for more than 1 year in the last 3 years.

Therefore one can change from L1 to H1B and not to any other companies L1

Not legal advice!

What would prevent someone from changing from L1 to H1B?
