Re: Change of visa status

Dear Sir,

Your girlfriend should be able to change her status assuming he meets the prerequisites for the particular visa she is seeking. One of the most common options is that of the H-1B visa which requires a bachelor's degree or equivalent to work in a "specialty occupation." There may however be other options available to her. It is best to consult with a immigration attorney once she has a job offer in hand and consider the various possibilities.

Sincerely,

Sameer Kumar
