L1 and H1 for the same individual

[muthamizh_selvan]

Esteemed members,

Request your clarification for the following,

I'm currently having an L1B and present in the US. Is it possible for another employer to apply for my H1B now who is willing to offer a full time job next year?

Thanks in advance

Hello, Selvan.

H1Bs are filed in April only, each year, for a fresh H1B petition. And, you are permitted to work from October of that year.

If your L1B is valid for some more time, you could file the H1B in April next year and, if approved, you could switch to H1B from L1 and work from October onwards, without having to leave USA.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
