I am in the US for the last 1.5 years on L1A visa - but my company is not doing well and I want to move to another company.

I will not be able to transfer L1 visa - and am planning on getting a H1B visa.

Are there any restrictions on transferring from L1A to H1B visa? Do I need to go out of country to get my status changed? or is it sufficient to apply for a H1B visa from the US.

Thanks for your help/suggestions.

L1 is intra company transfer visa, it is not transferable.

Do I need to go out of country to get my status changed? NO or is it sufficient to apply for a H1B visa from the US. You can apply now for Yr 2006 quota and start working from Oct 2005
Thanks for your help/suggestions.
