Convert H4 to H1B: Possible with job offer.
Yes, many people have successfully converted their H-4 visa to an H-1B visa. The process involves finding a U.S. employer who is willing to sponsor you for the H-1B visa and filing a petition with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Here are the general steps:
1. Job Offer: Secure a job offer from a U.S. employer.
2. Employer Petition: Your employer must file Form I-129 (Petition for a Nonimmigrant Worker) with USCIS.
3. Approval: Wait for USCIS to approve the petition.
4. Change of Status: If you are in the U.S. on an H-4 visa, you can request a change of status to H-1B without leaving the country.
The process can be competitive, especially because the H-1B visa has an annual cap. Consulting with an immigration attorney can be beneficial to understand the specifics and increase your chances of success.
