how to people switch from h4 to h1 these days because i have heard that people dont get their h1 approved unless they are working on a project? so if a person applies in April , he/she is eligible to work in october. do employers wait until october??? do they hire 4 months before the joining date of the hired person ??? please suggest me how to change my status from h4 to h1 , keeping in mind the current situation, because recruiters option wont work these days.
