  • L1B - H1B Approved without change of status

    Hi,
    Similar situation, my question is also regarding L1B - H1B change of status.

    Situation:
    1. I currently work in the US for company A on L1B visa.
    2. Company B filed for my H1B, which was denied initially.
    3. Later Company B appealed against the denial of H1B and it got approved yesterday without Change of Status (COS)
    4. Company B says there are 2 options:
    4.1. Go to my country of Origin and get the H1B Stamped (not preferred).
    4.2. Apply for amendment for H1B change of status under Premium processing. Which would cost around $1200+.

    Questions:
    1. Is there no other options than going for COS amendment.
    2. Will the COS amendment in Premium processing cost around $1200+.
    3. Are there chances of COS amendment getting denied.
    4. If the COS amendment gets approved, do I need to move the next day from Company A (L1B) to Company B (H1B).

    Thanks in advance for all the suggestions. Please let me know if there is any other questions you have.

    Regards
    Syed

    1. If you dont want to go out and attend the stamping thats pretty much the only option.
    2. Yes.
    3. Yes.
    4. Yes.

    This is my opinion not legal advice.
