Q: Can I extend my work visa?
A: Most temporary work visas—including H-1B, L-1, and TN—offer extension options, but strict rules and limits apply.
Q: What do I need for a renewal or extension?
- Current valid visa and passport
- Continued employment with the petitioning employer
- Updated supporting documents (pay stubs, W-2s, job letters)
Q: When should I begin the renewal/extension process?
A: We recommend starting 6 months before your current visa expires, as processing times can vary.
Q: Can I change employers on a work visa?
A: Many visas (like H-1B) allow for “portability,” meaning you can change employers but must file a new petition before starting work with the new employer.
Q: What happens if my visa expires?
A: Staying beyond your visa expiration can have serious consequences. Contact your attorney immediately to discuss solutions.
