In US on H4, H1 petition approved

[h1visaseeker]

Hi !

I am in US on an H4 visa in US. My H1 petition was approved way back in 2006, however, I could not get h1 stamped and start working due to personal reasons.

Can I start working now legally in US without getting an H1 stamped?
Is a transfer possible on my H1 petition?

Will appreciate any insight.

Thanks

hii,

i can see 2 options for u..

1. apply for change of status from H4 to h1 and start working once status gets changed
2. go out of US, get your H1 stamped and re enter US with H1 status.
