What is this about? I'm USI on L1B for 3 yrs now. Never got any such communication in the last 3 yrs. Would you mind sharing more details on what the email is about?
Just a generic email from US H1B Cap Team saying that the H1B application will be open on March 1 and that I will receive request to submit information by Jan 18th.

Then don't.
Getting an H1-B won't affect your current L1 status but provides a plan B in case you need to find another employer. I suggest applying, you have nothing to lose. Also if your GC process gets delayed beyond the L1 you can renew your H1-B beyond the 5 year period, which is not possible with an L-1. I had an L-1 then just went through the process and got an H1-B. I was laid off and was able to get another job with an H1-B transfer. Wife isn't working but we're still in the US and GC process is underway.
This is very helpful. I am in a similar situation. Do you mind if I DM you for some advice ?
