my sister got an offer from US, she is a Malaysia citizen residing in Singapore. Should she apply H1 in Singapore before she comes or should she comes as a tourist and apply changing of status in New York? Which procedure will be faster, easier and less risky? How long will each one take? Thanks.
 
If she has got an offer she cant get H1 Visa with offer letter, If she has got the H1 approved notice then BCIS may have also sent the copy to particular US consulate and she should get H1Visa stamped before entry to US. New York does not change Status from tourist to H1B visa. If she wants to work or has job with H1b sponsor then she should get H1B out of US and enter on H1B status
