Internship on H1B

[sksb]

Hi,

Thanks for helping people out.

My query is I am on H4 and I do have a valid H1B petition. I am looking out for jobs in US.
Can I join in any company's internship program on H1B visa?
Can any consultancy transfer my visa to H1B and help me getting internship with the company who can take me as intern?
What will be the issues in this case?

Thanks.

H1B can be sponsored only for specialty occupation and it is a full time employment with the company who is sponsoring your the H1B. As long as the employer pasy you as per the LCA approved and if the job location and the nature of the job is the same, you are good. Otherwise it is an issue. You cannot work until your status changes from H4 to H1B.
