subirbanerjee Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 My question is simple but could not find any proper reply, would appreciate if someone could give me a specific reply. I am on H1B1 special category visa, is it possible to do a change of status to H1B regular without going thru the lottery method. H1B1 numbers are taken out of the 65000 quota every year, so the conversion should be possible, without having to run thru the application (April) and random selection process. Please advice.

pontevecchio Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 It would seem not. Why do you want to do this? Link to comment

pontevecchio Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 That sounds reasonable. Link to comment
