▲ 0 r/h1b
My attorney is suggesting the following plan:
Enter the U.S. (likely on B1/B2).
File for H1B Change of Status (COS) immediately after arrival.
Use Premium Processing to get the result in 15 days and "act accordingly" based on the outcome.
How logical or risky is this? I’m worried about preconceived intent and potentially getting flagged for misrepresentation, which could ruin my future Green Card path. Is this a common tactic in 2026 or is it a red flag for USCIS?
Any advice is appreciated.
