    Change of Status from l1b to h1b
    Hi,

    I have a L1B visa from Company A and the same Company has applied for my H1B and it got approved. Now Im in USA and my company people are not allowing me to change my status to H1B and neither are thet giving me the approval letter. Now I want to change my status to H1B how can I do that please suggest me.

    Thanks,
    Bhargav

    You should discuss this matter with the employer's attorney, the one who filed this petition.

    But my company(employer) attorney are not ready to do that until my company approves me to go for the change of status so I'm looking for an option where I can file through another employeer and get my h1b transferred to that employeer. Is this possible?

    Why you need to change status, you will be eligible to obtain green card no matter you hold L or H visa.

    The reason I told you to consult the employer's attorney is many companies play tricky games with this issue and USCIS are aware of this. Consult this attorney... does not mean to tell them what to do... just ask for what is the appropriate thing to do.
