  • L1 to H1B Transfer

    I am here in USA on L1 visa with XYZ company. This year I got H1B visa approval thru another ABC company. I would appreciate if anybody answer my questions as mentioned below:-
    1. what is the actual time span to change L1 to H1B?
    2. how long I could continue with L1 without changing the status to H1B?

    Its very urgent.
    Thanks

    1. If a COS, it is immediate. Illegal to continue work on L1
    2. No grace to continue on old status. Your new status is effective from the date of COS i.e Oct 1st.

    Read many 100s of leapfrog subject posts.

    You have been illegally working on L1 in case of a COS.

    I am not a lawyer and you need to consult with one to validate any info posted on the forum and discuss your case specifics. H1b Question? Read the FAQ first.

        Rules are applied to everyone irrespective of country one's from.

        As a txh1b said, if your H1 was approved with a COS and you are still working for the L1 employer, you are out of status. And this is an issue.
        Check out H1 FAQs first!
