Can I get H1B as a visitor in US?

Postby bluenova » Tue Oct 27, 2009 8:59 pm

Hi,

I am a Canadian citizen and now in US as a visitor status without any visa. If I find a sponsor, can I get H1B visa in US without returning to Canada?

Thanks,

Sue

Yes. The sponsor files I-129, and asks to chnage your staus from visitor (b2) to H1. Probabaly best to file Premium 2-week processing, otherwise it could take a couple of months.
