L-1A to H-1B possibility

Yes, it is possible to change your status from L-1A to H-1B. The regular processing of this type of case can take 4 to 6 months, and the premium processing can be done within 15 days from the day of receipt of the application by INS. It is possible to file for Greencard. The labor certificate process is not part of the H-1 process. As part of the H-1 process, you need to apply for a labor condition application (LCA), which is obtainable online from Department of Labor.
