Hi,



I am in the process of sending document to the prospective employer to
file the petition for H1-B visa. Meanwhile the company I am working for
also talking to me to transfer to USA in L1 visa. Assume, first I go for
H1-B and later ( while H1-B is in process) I go for L1 visa. When I
apply for L1, do I need to tell anything about the H1-B to the current
employer ?



Pls. guide me and tell me the consequence.

It depends. US immigration authorities will need to know about the H-1B.
If you are outside the USA, it is probably enough if you tell the
consulate. If you are in the USA, this information would have to be
submitted together with the application to change status, or the petition.

Since the petition is filed by the employer, in effect you would indeed
have to tell the employer (or at least the lawyer who handles the
paperwork).

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I am outside USA now. So I just need to
tell the consulate. By the way, WHEN do I need to tell the consulate ?
At the time of L1 petition OR at the time of L1 stamping ?

I am afraid to tell the employer/lawer ( iahve to
contact through employer as I am outside USA) as company MAY NOT file L1
petition.


PLEASE ADVISE ME.
