athreyaadithya1996 Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 I work as a mechanical engineer and am planning to switch to a software related role. I am currently on h1B visa and I do not have my passport stamped yet. Will there be issues if I switch roles with my h1B status ? If there will be problems, are there ways to overcome this situation where in I want to definitely switch roles? Quote Link to comment
Zodiac System Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) Are you in US or outside of USA. This is a material change. If it is with the same employer, I think your employer will have to file an amendment. If you have experience in software related role, then an "education + experience" evaluation, giving you an equivalency of computer degree will certainly help. Also consult an attorney as there may be risks involved with this type of a switch. Good Luck. Edited November 21, 2023 by Zodiac System Quote Link to comment
