Hi, Could you please help me to find the answer for this question: I have valid visa K3, which will be terminated soon ( after divorce), can I change my current visa to visa H1 (employer is ready to sponsor the H1 visa). Thank you.

Do you have the GC yet?

K1 denied, K3/K4, CR-1/CR-2, AOS, ROC, Adoption, US citizenship and dual citizenship

!! ALL PAU!

I don't believe the K visa permits an alien to convert to another visa type while in the United States. A call to a qualified immigration attorney would be your best bet.

I agree. Visas are for entering the country, not conversion while in the country. That's not to say you couldn't qualify for an H1 visa and use it to re-enter the US. This is attorney territory.

Humm... I read a few stories about folks who applied for a visa after entering the country. If you are changing status, wouldn't that be an 'adjustment of status'?

K1 Visa Process long ago and far away...

02/09/06 - NOA1 date

12/17/06 - Married!

AOS Process a fading memory...

01/31/07 - Mailed AOS/EAD package for Olga and Anya

06/01/07 - Green card arrived in mail

Removing Conditions

03/02/09 - Mailed I-751 package (CSC)

03/06/09 - Check cashed

03/10/09 - Recieved Olga's NOA1

03/28/09 - Olga did biometrics

05/11/09 - Anya recieved NOA1 (took a call to USCIS to take care of it, oddly, they were helpful)

It is possible to change from one non-immigrant status to another while in the country, but not for all types of visas. F-1 can be changed to H1-B, for instance.

Filed AOS from F-1
Green Card approved on 01/04/07
Conditions removed 01/29/09

Citizenship Oath 08/23/12

K3's do not expire because of divorce. You are allowed to stay until the date on your I-94.
