Hi Krishna, Dont worry - you can travel to US on your B1,
at Immigration you must mention that you are entering US on
B1. There will not be any problem to your L1.

As far as am aware there is no precedence as such mentioned in this post. However I'm not sure about this as I'm about to face the same scenario. Please let me know on this further. Will the I94 be on B1/B2 or L1?
