Hi ,

I work with a Indian IT company. I am not a L1b visa since last 2 years and 8 months. I have a i94 valid till 2016.

My current employer had filed for my H1b and i have a approved i797 . I have a scanned copy of the i797 , this was filled without a change of status . I have been asked to travel to India to get a stamping done.

SO i believe , my current status is still L1b.

Now , the customer i work for is interested to offer me a full time position.

Can i change jobs on the basis of a approved i797 , which has been never used?

Do i still need to get 3 months of pay stubs?

Also , How much longer can i stay in USA without the green card being filed?

hi

for your last question..You can stay as long as you have h1b valid. I think you can renew h1 for 2 terms. Then you will have to move to India again.

Later you can re apply for h1. Greencard route takes many years for indians. Dont bother !!!

Thank You

Anand
