Re: H1 To L2
You won't be an H-1B anymore. As an L-1 though, you can be employment authorized. Be sure this is handled properly. You might find yourself in a bind or sailing smoothly depending on whether this is done right. It is a nice opportunity to work throughout without having to worry about the H-1 six year cap. It could also lead to big problems working here or staying here if not done right.
You should really have counsel prepare such an application for you. Feel free to contact me offline at [email protected].
Sincerely,
