Re: COS L1 to H1
From reading your e-mail I am not sure what you really want to do.
You came to the US on an L1 visa, which means you were transferred by your company abroad to work for them here in the US.
Once you arrived in the US a different company then applied for an H1 visa for you here and it was approved.
What you have done (may be you did not realize it) was to tell the US Immigration Service that you no longer wish to work for your original company (Company A), why else would you have gotten a different company (Company B) to apply for a H1 visa for you?
As for your continuing to work for company A, if your application is rejected, please read the above paragraph again and you will understand how the US Immigration Service will look at your L1 and H1 visa applications which they have on file.
