The typical approach to handle the temporary aspect is to arrive via L1B and apply for H1B which doesn't have the maximum stay restrictions. Employee friendly companies tend to help with application.
The other visa in a similar category is L1A but the employee needs to be of managerial grade. However, the green card approval process is quicker (subject to various factors including country of origin etc).
All this from some various discussions I've been in so I may be not be entirely accurate.
- refurb 6y agoH1B which doesn't have the maximum stay restrictions H1B is valid for a maximum of 6 years. Then you need to leave for a set period of time.
- noisy_boy 6y agoI stand corrected. To add, usually the H1B holders begin the green card process as soon as possible (with the help of their company). Technically, at least 365 days prior to the day in which the six-year limit was reached and then H1B visa may be extended in one-year increments.
