How common is it for a secondment to become a permanent transfer?

I’m based in the EU and was offered an L-1A transfer to the US, but both firms have mentioned this is a 1-year secondment. HR said any extension depends on client demand in US after the first year. My wife has also secured a job in the US and will be moving as my dependent, so we’re trying to gauge how realistic a longer-term stay is. Curious to hear others’ experiences.

If you care about US green card, then this is a great opportunity in which case focus on doing great work so they can consider extending you.

You should find a permanent role in the US outside of your secondment. Use your current position in the US to network in person, and let others know your goal of a permanent role here. Try to transfer at the end of your 1-year position.

Do you mean within the firm or outside? If outside, wouldn’t the visa sponsorship be an issue?

Given our current political landscape, it may be tough.

If a partner asked you to do non-client related/may help later work, how long is too long to get back to them? Came to big law as a second year from a smaller firm (three years out). First year (who should be a second year) is emailing me trying to figure out where are things with a federal notice summary (I allowed them to help). Can I tell the first year to chill? I feel like if the partner needed it ASAP, they would have said so. I turned in the summary less than 72hrs later. Nbd/big deal?
