How to find a H1B VISA job?

Transfer of H1B to B2 visa?

• Hi, I am a H1B visa holder who expects to be laid off in another two weeks. I am thinking of applying for a change of visa status from H1B to B2. Once I find a job I am planning on changing the status back to H1B. Could anyone please let me know what the procedure of this is? Also please let me know if there are any issues with this process? Thanks in advance

• Answer:

  If you want to change your status then you should file FORM I-539 with your original I-94. In addition, you must submit written statement explaining in detail about the reason for your extension/change of status and why your extended stay would be temporary etc. You can download the form and obtain more information at this site: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=94d12c1a6855d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD If you are eligible to apply for H1B, you need an H1B sponsor (employer) to file a Petition for Non immigrant Worker (Form I-129) with required supporting documents like copy of your educational certificates, passport, experience etc. You can start working for your employer ONLY after your H1B approval. If your application is denied, you will receive a letter that will tell you why the application was denied.
