  • L1B to H1-B conversion

    Hi,

    Good Morning!

    I am working for a indian company A. I joined in India and transferred to US in L1B visa.

    I would like to change the employer in US.

    Kindly clarify the following questions:

    If I go with a new H1B petition then do I need to go back to india?

    What are all the procedures to get the L1b to H1 conversion?

    Do I want to stick with the current employer till i get the H1?

    Kindly help me on this.

    Thanks

    If I go with a new H1B petition then do I need to go back to india?
    >>> If the H1B petition is approved as a COS (new I-94 with the H1B approval), then you don't have to leave the country.

    What are all the procedures to get the L1b to H1 conversion?
    >>> Find an employer who can sponsor your H1B. Ask them to apply the H1B as a COS from L1. For the required documents, check this thread (The same checklist listed here will do)

    Do I want to stick with the current employer till i get the H1?
    >>> Yes. Until the COS gets approved, you cannot work for the H1B employer. If the H1B gets approved as a COS, then you can no longer continue with the L1 employer starting the effective date of approval.
