US IBD: Has anyone ever managed to make a move while on an L1 visa? Were you able to find a bank that was willing to try for an H1B fresh, not a transfer?

Canadian banks def file L1 visa

Yeah, I'm on the L1 in the US but I can't leave banks using it, was wondering if anyone was in the same situation and managed to switch to another US bank somehow
I can't get the TN

My friend waited for H1B to move. I think it’s pretty hard on an L1

Ah gotcha, thanks!

Yeah, none of the immigration stuff is quick 😭 honestly really nervous by the time I'm legally allowed to switch banks, I'll be too old and won't have enough solid experiences

Immigration lawyers had sent me a questionnaire to fill out for Manager PERM. They now just came back saying that they need to assess me for a different position. Anyone else experience this? I wonder if this means they’ll now just file a Senior Perm instead? Asked them but they’re not very responsive.

I came to US on an L1b in 2018 and switched to H1b in 2021 Oct. Current 797/visa expiry is stated as July 2023, by which I would have spent 1.5 years on H1b visa (and 3.5 years on L1b before that). During h1b extension , will I get another 4.5 years of extension? How does extension work when u switch visas?
