H1B to L2 Transfer

[BGoswami]

Hi,
I am currently working on H1B. My husband also is working here on L1. I want to quit my job asap and want to be here on L2 status. Is it possible to convert the visa type staying in US or do I need to go back to India for processing the same? Can L2 and EAD processing happen simultaneously? ( I could not get a clear answer from the other threads)

Thanks in advance

>>> You can apply a COS from H1B to L2 based on your husband's valid L1 petition. You need to file form I-539. Here is the instruction on how to file.

Can L2 and EAD processing happen simultaneously?
>>> Yes.

Need h1b to l2b Transfer in consular Process

i wanted to ask about my scenario. i am on H1 and my wife on L1. we both are in US right now. my project is about to end and my company will ask me to go back to my base location. i wanted to know in this case should my wife's company apply for a consular processing or a change of status for me?

if they apply for consular status and my company asks me to leave can i still resign from my current ocmapny and be in US or do i need to go out of US and get the L2 stamped and come back again?

Are you absolutely sure of a particular date by which your company would ask you to leave US while on H1?
