Can one apply for a change of status from H-4 to H1B with an approved I-140?

Answer

Yes, it may be possible to request a change of status to H1B with an I-140 approval. However, it is still necessary to meet all the general H1B requirements – including a cap filing or cap exemption – in every situation. (13.Apr.2015)
