If on L1A, your GC should not take more than a year (assuming EB1). Think as if you are already a GC holder and decide accordingly. I have seen my friends who were super conservative and were not considering that they will be in US for long term (because of visa considerations) even though their GC was just a year away. They missed out on some good opportunities because of this extreme caution.

Can't comment if you are on L1B and have a long time before you will get your GC, as have no direct experience of such case. All the best

Thanks D1. On L1A and about to start EB1 petition. Helpful info!

Following as also on an L1 and may be doing the same soon!

Following. On L1A and considering similar.

Thanks D1!
All taken into consideration. Was thinking more from legal stand point. I assume it can be tricky for anyone buying a house in US. Is it just about written a contract? Or do I need to report change of ownership somewhere?

You need to get a real estate lawyer to do the paperwork, title transfer etc.

I have given interviews in
JPMorgan Chase for developer role and got the offer which is gud but interviews were not as tough as one might have expected from a reputed firm like jpmc.

Had 1 tech,1 tech-Manager round , Hire view test which was quite easy and an hr round.
Am a little worried about the standard of project and the team. I have offer from CIB Payments team. Checked with hiring manager and he said d role is for developer. Just worried abt quality of work
