What is the name of your state? FL

My L1B visa & petition with Company A runs upto Sep this year.
I'm applying for H1B petition with company B this year.
my current Company A will try to go for L1B petition extension, so that I can continue being here beyond september.

My concern is if these 2 will clash with each other ?

One of my friends said that whichever petition gets approved latest - will be the one that holds good.

So if L1B extension gets approved after h1B, will that negate H1B ?
and vice-versa ..

Thanks.

It is all a matter of the timing strategy and what you are hoping to accomplish exactly. It is possible to do what you want to do but you need to understand the purpose and the limitations of two petitions being filed for two different nonimmigrant status.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions or how I can be of further assistance to you in this matter.
