Question on i140 eb1 . My i94 status

[Shakthi054]

Hi Team,

I have a question on I-140 .

This is my situation , I entered US on H1B in 2019. When I download my I-94 from the I94 website it say's Class of Admission as H1B .

I did my H1B to L1A conversion in Dec-2019 and got it approved with the change of status, so technically I am in L1A. I got my approved I-797 with the I-94 .

L1A change of status approved.

My Question is ,

1) I am planning to apply EB1 140 , When I checked the I-140 form questioner @ 11.c. "Status on Form I-94(for example, class of admission).

What is my status on Form I-194 , is it H1B or L1A ?

Want to know if Status of Form-194 is H1B the status I entered US or it should be L1A which is my current status .



Thanks ,


Appreciate your reply.

You entered the US on H1 and then converted to L1a. Therefore, enter the most recent I-94 information (which should be on the L1A - 797)

Thank you very much for replying my post Appreciate it .
so "Status on Form I-94-Class of Admission" is always the latest I-94 i have from my latest approved i-797 and not the I-94 I download from the I-94 website which always shows the category i entered via imigration . which doesn't reflect the COS.

The I-94 available on the website is only for that entry through immigration ports. Any change of status / extensions with new I-94's are not reflected on that website.
So always use the I-94 on the latest 797 to determine validity
