I’m employed with company A and is on L1 visa. Now company A is acquired by Company B which has no affiliation with company A at all. Can company B transfer my L1 visa under their name or will I loose my status after acquisition is completed?

Sounds like a complex legal question. Ask the immigration dept to ask the legal team to do the research. Or pay outside counsel yourself. M&A is not uncommon, so they should be able to find the right answer

I ran into this situation and we moved the L-1 holders to a different visa. Do check with your immigration counsel in case there are nuances to your situation, though.
