  1. The Ultimate Guide Change of Status - L1 to H1B

  2. Differences and Similarities Between L1 and H1B If you’re seeking an L1 to H1B change of status, there are some factors that will remain the same once you receive your new visa. The similarities between L1 and H1B status include: ● Because of dual intent, you do not need to prove ties to your country of citizenship in order to apply for a green card from your L1 or H1B visa status. L1 and H1B both offer premium processing for a fee of $1255 USD. This ensures that your case will be reviewed by USCIS within 15 days of being received. If USCIS asks for any additional paperwork, such as an RFE (Request for Evidence), the 15 day period will begin after those documents are received. ●

  3. Advantages of L1 to H1B Change of Status If you you wish to change your status from L1 to H1B, there are a variety of advantages. For starters, the L1 to H1B process is much easier compared to other change of status options. Also, if you do apply for H1B status and you are denied, you may still remain in the U.S. for the duration of your L1 status. Finally, H1B offers more flexibility when changing jobs. The L1 visa does not allow you to work for any other company than the one through which you applied for your visa. Conversely, you may change positions with the H1B visa--it is important to note that you are required to alert USCIS of your employment change prior to your last day.

  4. How to Apply for L1A to H1B Change of Status Before you can apply for a change of status, you must first find a qualified employer to sponsor your H1B status. Your employer will need to include the following with your application: Name and title of person filling the position Name and address of the company Brochures and other informational resources about the company Completed visa filing forms and fees ● ● ● Job title and description Proposed salary Federal Tax ID number Minimum requirements for the position ● ● ● ● ●
