Has anyone successfully changed employers while initially being on L-1A? What visa category did you change to and what was the process/timeline like?

You can’t shift on a L1A, your options unless you are from 3-4 specific countries that have treaties with the US, would be a new H1B application that would have to go through the lottery system.

L1 means intra-company transfer. The intra means you were working for the company outside the US before you got transferred or moved to the US office. You can’t changed employer while on L1 in the US unless the new employer files a GC and it got approved or You get H1B on lottery or as Deloitte 1 mentioned you are from one of those countries that have treaties or statutory agreement with the US, in which case it will be TN or E-2 or E-3.

Apparently you can if you applied for GC and you have an approved I140, EAD, and your I485 has been pending for at least 180 days
