Tourist visa to H1

[Ken Swan]

Hi,

Is it possible or legal to come to US on tourist visa, look for a job, and apply for H1B visa if I found an employer. Any help will be very much appreciated.

Regards,
Ken

Yes you can come on tourist visa and change it to H1. But in order to apply for H1, you need to go to another country(ex: Canada, Mexico, India)and place your application in the U.S Embassy of that country.
