EB-1C beneficiaries : does the applicant need to come in on an L1 visa or can they brought in on another work visa such as H1b?

OP, I came in through H1B and got GC in EB1 category. No RFEs. Definitely possible.

Thanks. Glad to hear

I recently received my green card via EB1-C route and started with an L1-A. Technically you can go EB1-C from H1-B as well but, like others have mentioned, you will have to spend 1yr abroad in managerial capacity within 3yrs preceding the petition filing date.

Any visa is fine. You do need to spend 1 year abroad in a manager role though and be transferred to the same company’s US entity. Coming on a L1A is preferred because the chances of getting your I-140 approved without an RFE is significantly higher.

I know a colleague who got GC approved through EB1-C when he was on H1B but he met all the criteria of multi-national manager as he was working for a smaller company!

This was in July 2022. Should I be worried that it won't happen or should I start looking for the switch.?

Anyone here waiting for a Family Based Green Card, my lawyer filed it last September 2021. It’s 14 months now… still waiting.

Just wanted to know if anyone of you got it earlier than 2 years?

Saw this while searching —
“In most cases, it takes about two years for a green card to become available, and the entire process takes around three years. It can take slightly longer for citizens of Mexico, China, India, and the Philippines.”

On a brighter note — Got my EAD March 2022.
