How to change employer on L1 visa

Apr 4 10 Comments

Hi Folks,
I am on a L1 visa. I did not get picked up for the H1b lottery this year again.
Is there a possibility to change employers even if you are on L1?

Note: My manager has informed me openly to look for opportunities outside the company. I have no clue what to do.

Thankyou

    Why did your manager say that?

      I have no idea about politics and all going around me, but I feel something is cooking. I am worried if that leads me to get fired.

      The most logical idea I can think of is that my promo packet is not being considered at all and I kept asking my manager to provide me opportunities to grow me to the next level.

      Whatsoever, I do not want to discuss all that nonsense in detail. can you please get me some useful and feasible options you may know from your acquaintances?

      Or at least a solution to the forewritten current circumstances?

      OP: Start looking internally. Also, look at potential CPT-day 1 colleges if you want to keep working and stay in US.

    You can’t transfer jobs on L1 sorry. Option is to go back to India or find a job in another country.
    You could possibly explore getting a degree or doing borderline gray area stuff like Day 1 CPT. Please Google what Day 1 CPT is and then try. Do not give up the prime of your life for slave labour in US mate much better things to do, a lot of money is there in India too and a lot of life outside US in Canada or Europe as well. Don’t get stuck with this visa issues.

    No. You cannot switch jobs when you are on L1

    I'm no expert but from what I understand about L1 visa it's tied to your employer and that you can't change the employer.
