I-94 expires while applying for L1 visa

[renatolcp]

I came to usa with a B1 Visa.
For some reasons I'm applying for a L1 Visa.
But my I-94 will expires before the applying process end.
Should I return to my country or wait the process to finish?

Thanks.

Re:

If you apply for extension of your B1 Visa, then you can stay back here without going to India.

Applying for a L1 Visa doesn't mean I will get a new I-94 card?
I have to apply for a I-94 extension too?
