I'm currently working for a large U.S. company, on their offshore global services subsidiary, as software developer. I've been working for a year and a half (fully employed).
First question is, do I qualify for a L1B Visa? (I have both a bachelor's and Master's)
Second question is, do you consider that a good route to a Green Card? I wouldn't want to go to the U.S. unless I'm confident I can go the Green Card route.
If I chose to go with an L1, I have to stay with the same employer until the Green Card goes through right? (and they must not fire me, which is an unfortunate possibility with any company).
Thank you very much for the answers in this thread.
- proberts 9y agoThe answers to your questions, in order: you might qualify for an L-1B but this would depend in part on the nature of your specialized knowledge of the company's proprietary products, systems, etc.; underlying status has nothing to do with green card options, the green card requirements are separate and apart but on the face of it, it looks like you would have a solid PERM-based green card application; not necessarily but you would need to stay with this employer for a while, while your green card application is pending, before you could "port" your application to another employer.
