Sunny90 Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Hi All, I am working for a MNC in the US on a L-1 B and was trying to understand the possible options to switch jobs under my Visa status. I learned one option is COS from L-1 to H1 which has to go through regular lottery and approval. Wondering below: Can I try for a different company who can apply H-1 for me? If I did, can they apply for me when I am working for a different company on a L1? If approved, can I change my status here or need to travel back and get H-1 stamped? If my current company process GC for me and after my I140 approval, can I switch jobs with my I140 even on L-1? Please help me understand the above, Thank you in advance. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 The total duration L1 PLUS H1 remains 6 years. So if you have time remaining any employer can file your H1 petition next April and you can start in October if approved either with COS or by leaving and returning with a H1 visa at the appropriate time.
