H1 is not for Intra Company Transfer. In case of L1 it is a
Intra Company Transfer VISA. It's company dependent and
project dependent in which the employee worked for.

Answer / satheesh

It is not stupid question. We have to explain him about the
advantages of the H1B like the duration of the stay. we can
tell that, "I am going to work in a long term project of
maximum of three years so my company initiated me a H1
instead of L1"

Answer / rananjay kumar

Well as all of us know that its da company who initiates
and decide which VISA is important for them so First of all
we need to say that its my company who decides this. And
might possible I need to work on long term bais so they are
asking for L1 not B1...

Answer / gap

L1-B - When criteria mets such as, Intra company Transfer, Specialized skill set position then s/f companies will choose this one to compare H1B.

Pros: Can work at any location, Can't switch over b/w companies, Fee is less, spouse can work

Cons: 3 years only valid then you can renew for 2 more years only.

H1B : The primary US Work Visa for professionals & students from all over the world or in the USA, who work in specialty occupations. Valid up to 6 years, dual intent visa (can apply for Green Card)

Pros: Can work for diff clients, Visa renwal process is easy

Cons: can't apply this VISA for specific locations in States, spouse can't work.

Answer / vargab sen

Firstly you cannot work or draw US salary under B1.
Secondly L1A is Intra company transfer but the maximum stay
thats possible under L1 categories are:
L1A: 3+2+2 (With extension)
L1B: 3+2 (With extension)
If you're on H1B there is no restriction as such on you
being with a partiuclar employer. You can change jobs and
H1B can be transferred if you're in US.

Answer / erwe

stupid question.
as it is the company that chooses L1 or H1 not the employee

Answer / senthil

if your spouse also wanted to work.. go for L1B.
In H1B your spouse cannot work.

If you are for longer term and GC...
Either your company or your spouse company can sponsor for
GC so the probability is more for longer stay if you go with
L1B rather than H1b (condition that your spouse also works
in some specialized skills to trigger the GC)

If you go with H1b/B1 than only you have the full control to
trigger the GC..

Hi my L1 B Blanket Visa got rejected in Mumbai US Consulate. He wrote "not specialized" in the petition. Also told me that I want some more information from ur HR and give this document to him/her, see you in next couple of weeks. I guess the document he gave me was 221(g) paper (seemed like a xerox one) which said that your application is not considered in ins....definition of specialized knowledge professional why they are different etc. My HR said that this is a rejection, let us know if u receive any call in next 2 weeks. Anybody who has gone through this kind of issue please answer... Any idea what is this ? Does this mean its a complete rejection ? After how many days can I apply for another visa ? Can I apply L1B Blanket visa again and what are the chances ? I would appreciate an answer...
