Bharath Jain Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I am a Indian citizen living in the states on L1-B visa. My L1-B visa PED is Feb 2016 and L1-B max out is also Feb 2016. My employer is about to file PERM for me in 2 to 4 weeks which will either be EB2 or EB3. I am trying to understand what options do I have to continue to legally live and work in the states while my GC or at least I-140 is done. Considering Feb 2016 as my L1-B PED I do not have adequate time to complete the GC process and I am guessing I-140 as well. My employer has agreed to process either L1-B to L1-A conversion (which gets me 2 more years for max out) or L-B to H1-B conversion (in 2015 quota). Could you please advise which conversion option would be ideal in the context of GC processing or is there any other option that I can evaluate? Link to comment
jairichi Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 L1B to H1B would be an ideal option. If your cap subject H1B petition was not selected next year then go for L1B to L1A. Link to comment
