Hi Peter, are there any drawbacks to switching from an O1 visa to an H1B visa in order to avoid having to renew the O1 every year (after the first three years)?

Hi Peter, are there any drawbacks to switching from an O1 visa to an H1B visa in order to avoid having to renew the O1 every year (after the first three years)?
In particular, would an EB1 petition have more chances to succeed if the applicant has O1 status at the time of filing compared to H1B status?
- proberts 7y agoNo downside at all to switching and no impact on the outcome of an EB1A petition - same chances whether you are in H-1B or O-1 status.
