h4 to h1 transfer

Dear sir/madam,

Right now i am on h4 ,my h4 visa is getting expired on june 22 2007,iam planning to transfer from h4 to h1 for the 2007 quota i want to know whether this creates any problem in getting h1.

my husbands company will extend his h1b only 1 month before expiry so that will be only in may.

but i should apply it by april so by the time i apply for h1 (in april)there will be only 2 months left for my h4 to expire.will it be aproblem to apply for h1 in april ...please give me a solution for this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Re: h4 to h1 transfer

Even if you apply in April, you will not be able to receive your H-1B until October.

You will need to either leave the US and come in on your H-1B in October or you can possibily change your status to something else while you are waiting.
