Suppose you're a non-US citizen that's working for a BB. You worked in the US for a few years but your H1B is about to run out. Is it common for the firm, if they like you enough, to say that they'll move you back to the US on an L-1 visa at some point? Does this happen only at certain levels, and is it seen as temporary? If anyone has any knowledge on/experience with this process

H1b can be six years and once holders have exhausted the six-year maximum they have to leave the U.S. and remain outside for at least 1 year. After that time they are eligible for another H1 visa but they have to go through the H1b application process again.
Normally someone on H1b gets a green card at some point via their employer or through marriage to a US citizen (eg love marriage, arranged marriage, domestic partnership, etc).
If the beneficiary is reaching the limit of H1 because AOS isn't permitted due to country quotas against the I-140 (i.e. India or China or comparable), then the sponsor may file form I-129 to extend the H1 beyond the six years. H-1B status may be extended beyond the maximum of 6 years if the sponsor filed an EB petition like EB1, EB2, or EB3.
note: I am not a lawyer and people in this scenario should absolutely seek professional advice from an immigration attorney. AILA can help find one./
