Re: Wating for H1 and on L1

If you resign from your current L-1 position, you will no longer be in lawful L-1 status. Moreover, they have already reached the H-1B cap, so you will not be able to start your H-1B job until October 1, 2005. One possibility is to apply for a change of status to B-1 to remain until October 1, 2005, but there a number of issues to take into consideration before you take this step. I would be happy to discuss the matter with you in the context of a phone consultation.

Best regards,

If your H1B was already filed and accepted by CIS, then you can stay until your H1B approval. If the H1B is not yet filed, then your options are very limited and need further evaluation.
