Legal Question in Immigration Law in New Jersey

Re: L1 Petition approved - how to get visa stamped within United States

I have to see your approval notice. If you requested a change of status you don�t have to do anything until you leave the US. If you

didn�t request change of status you have to do it now or leave the US and get an L-1 visa at an American Consulate somewhere.

Please let me or my colleague, Allen Kaye, know if we can be of further assistance.

Re: L1 Petition approved - how to get visa stamped within United States

If you are in the U.S. lawfully and "in status," you may qualify for a change of status (in your case from F to L). This operation can generally take place without you leaving the U.S. and would entitle you to a work permit and other benefits of the L status. However, if you are planning to travel at some point, you may still need to apply at an overseas U.S. consulate for the L visa stamp to get back to the country.

If you need a consultation on your specific facts and circumstances, you may contact our office by email or phone.
