Legal Question in Immigration Law in New Jersey

My current Status is L1 - and I have been working here with my employer for a few years.

I have my H1 approved through another company - who have not yet cancelled it - because I want to join them shortly after I quit my current employer.I understand that my future employer� wants to revoke my H1 now. He says he is liable by just keeping my H1 open. Is it the best possible route that he cancels it and then when I get an opportunity - can it be recaptured?Is it an easy process? I do not want to put my future employer through any pain.

Please keep in mind that IF your H-1B was approved as "change of status" from October 1, 2009, but you keep working for a former L-1 employer, you may find yourself in a situation where you have violated your status and will not be able to change or extende status later.

You should consult your lawyer ASAP.
