Change of status from H1B to B1 and after approval of I-140 change back to approved H1B

Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Assuming that you have an acceptable reason to change status from H-1B to B-1 or B-2 status in the States, your plan may be possible – but note that the change of status application will likely still be pending at the time that you have the I-140 petition approved and your petitioner is putting up papers for your H-1B. At that point, USCIS will look to see whether the change of status request is approvable before deciding on whether to put you back into H-1B status without your having to leave the States.

How can I get back to the US after deportation?

Immigration lawyer at Feldman Feldman Associates, PC
Best is probably a nonimmigrant visa and not an immigrant visa because of the drug conviction. He will need a waiver and would need to qualify for the nonimmigrant visa. Does he have a business in Tanzania? If yes, one option may be the L-1A where he sets up a branch of his business in the U.S. and comes to develop and direct the business. Most nonimmigrant visas require he prove intent to return to Tanzania which will be hard with a previous overstay. The H for professional workers (college degree or higher) and the L. H's are gone until October 1, 2013 so that leaves the L. I have attached a summary of the requirements - requires two related companies to continue to operate - one in Tanzania and one in the U.S. and the company transfers him to the U.s. company to work. To properly advise on the criminal conviction for immigrant purposes we would need to see a certified court record of all crimes.
