Hi Mav,

i already have H1 from some US based company.if i go for L1 from my current company then i stand any chance of getting my H1 cancelled for the cuase.or i can hold both simultaneously.

I am almost sure your H1 will be cancelled if you go for L1, for they are very similar temporary worker visas but with 2 main differences: husband/spouse may work with L1, and you can switch company with H1.

You should keep your H1 anyway since it allows you to switch company if needed, while with L1 if you loose your job then you automatically loose your visa and must bail out of US (except if an AOS is pending).

Best regards.

You can switch companies on an L1, but you would need to qualify for another working visa which may or may not be available to you at that time.

while with L1 if you loose your job then you automatically loose your visa and must bail out of US (except if an AOS is pending).



When you lose your H1 job, you automatically fall out of status as well.

Cheers!
