Does my H1B (counselor notification) petition approval (lottery selection) get invalidated (i.e. I'll have to go via lottery process again next time), if I go for L1 extension instead of H1B visa stamping ?

    Basically if you are not activating your H1b before it’s expiration date then that H1b cannot be utilized. And my attorney recommended to activate at least six months before it expires. B/w this, let’s say your H1b expires in 2years from now then you can extend L1 and then go for stamping in h1 before 6 months.

      Thanks! So, my L1 extension won't have any impact on H1 lottery selection as long as I get H1 stamped before H1 expiration (preferably, 6 months), right?

      Correct that what my attorney said to me! I would also cross check with attorneys, just don’t go by my words.
