Yes -- but obviously, you must act quickly, and you cannot work until a new employer hires you and gets a new H1b approved. TCL

You may change status from L1-B to H-4 but will not be able to work as a dependent. Once you have a job offer, you may again change your status from H-4 to H-1B1 if that is an appropriate visa for you.

You may email me to discuss your other immigration options.
