arjun02phy36 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hello, My L1B visa was extended till September 26th 2016. I am planning to convert it to H1 during this fiscal year. Can you let me know if it is feasible. If yes, how. Some consultancies say that there is 4 days gap and I may need to go back to my home country and come back again. What are the options do I have. Note that, I have my L1B visa, since June 2010, but staying in the US since November 2011. Thanks, Prasanna Link to comment
jairichi Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Yes, an employer can file a cap subject H1B petition in April and if approved you move to H1B status from 1st Oct. To cover those 4 days you can apply for a COS to B2 and withdraw the petition once you move to H1B status from Oct 1st. Link to comment
