Well the I-129 petition needs to be approved first. Make sure it’s filed with premium processing to get a decision in 15 calendar days. Or it will take months for a response.

Once approved, you can show up at the border or airport to enter the US. Canadians do not need an L-1 visa to enter the U.S.

None of this includes time needed to prepare the petition. L-1s are complex so attorneys need time to prepare the petition.

Nope. Not what I said.

To get an L-1, you must have an approved L-1 petition. That’s done through form I-129. Once that is approved, then you can seek to enter the U.S. as an L-1B worker.

A petition is not a visa. A visa is merely a document to enter the U.S. A petition approval notice is not a visa. It merely establishes that you are qualified to work as an L-1B employee of your petitioning company. Canadians do not need a visa to enter the United States but they still need to have an approved petition, just like everyone else.

My coworker has just resign and I’m thinking of talking to my manager to see if instead of them hiring a new employee to increase my salary (my current salary + what this coworker is currently making) and I will take care of all of her responsibilities. I’ve been to a few interviews for other jobs, but I either don’t get a call back or the salary is too low.
Is this a good idea?
My main concern right now is to increase my salary. Have many bills to pay and want to start saving.
