srellaboyina Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I heard that to apply for an H1B from H4 with change of status, the H4 dependant should stay in the US for atleast 1 year before filing the change of status to H1B. Is this true or is there any time constraint like this before applying for an H1B? Link to comment

Please do let me know. Thanks. Link to comment

Have seen some attorneys suggesting atleast 3-4 months to avoid questions on the original intent of travel to US, but there is no official rule. Link to comment

jacknjill911 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 There are two people here.. One is my husband who is a finance guy. My colleague's sister is looking for the same, she is from a engineering background also looking for the same. It could be easier for her as in IT. So trying to find different options to help myself n my colleague. Link to comment
