Is it possible to transition to a H1B visa from an A2 Diplomatic visa?

Unless you have independent work authorization as an A-2 dependent, you cannot begin working with the new company until you have a valid change of status from A-2 to H-1B.

You can file for the next fiscal year H-1B numbers as early as April 1, 2012, but you would not be able to begin work until October 1, 2012.

If you are from Chile, Australia, Mexico, Singapore or Canada, there may be other options available,, which can be explained by immigration specialists.
