Legal Question in Immigration Law in New Jersey

Re: Can I transfer my H1B?

I would need more information regarding your particular case before I can comment on it properly.

However, an H1-B is for a temporary worker with special skills, an L1-B is also for a person with specialized knowledge but they are being transferred to the US branch/subsidiary or affiliate of the firm that they were working for abroad. This is the deference between the two visas.

The immigration service already knows that at some time you were granted an H1-B visa before it was changed, this information remains on your file.

An important fact to be determined is whether immigration stamped the H1-B visa in your passport at any time?

You need to speak with an attorney who will need to review the H-1B, as well the L-1B to determine if you can now change status to H-1B. Your new employer will have to file a new application for you with USCIS.

Re: Can I transfer my H1B?

We have substantial experience in business immigration issues such as yours. We can provide a phone or in-person consultation for $150 which may be paid by credit card.

Responding to this inquiry in no way establishes an attorney client relationship; however, I look forward to exploring these issues with you further by way of telephone or in-person consultation.
