It is unlikely, even if conceivable that you can qualify that quickly and continue employment. It is unclear whether there are other strategies that may allow you to eventually continue employment, training or work for your employer. As a result, I strongly recommend an appointment with a competent and experienced immigration attorney before you do anything. The above is general information, not legal advice and does not create an attorney client relationship.

As you filed for H-4 status while you were still legally in L-1 status, you are allowed to remain in the US pending the adjudication of the H-4 request. Inasmuch as you are currently under L-1 status, I assume that you filed for an H-4 change of status and not simply for an H-4 extension. An extension is for those who already hold the status at the present time.  Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

That question cannot be answered on the information provided. You need to consult with an immigration attorney immediately before you find yourself in detention or permanently barred from the U.S.
