Mr. ABC Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Am on L1B maxing out on May 2020. I have PERM approved and my I-140 is in Initial Review status. Am expecting the approval to come before my L1B max out. I understand that I will be needing a H1B to extend my stay by using I-140, my question here is, do I have to be within the CAP of 65,000 H1B to change over my status from L1B to H1B. There is no employer change in all of this history of five years and I have never held a H1B visa before. Please advise. Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 No. The initial H1 would have to be in the quota. H1 extensions are cap-exempt, but not the initial H1. Quote Link to comment
