If you get GC on L1A with then rest of you problem will solve here. L1A limits you to stick to one employer but u get GC with that employer then you are wing are free to go anywhere. Wait is worth with that employer on L1A

There should be direct reportees for you in the US...job role/reportees/scope of work/portfolio size you manage etc will be thoroughly vetted during the interview...once you are in the US,start your GC process ASAP,you are coming on the right visa

Best visa hands down!

From which country are you coming?

I don’t get why people say L1 visa is better that H1B....it’s not unless your are married. You are tied to your employer and can’t change jobs. You can still apply for an EB1c green card from H1B as long as you meet the requirements of being a manager abroad and you are a manager in the US. People assume the L1A = EB1c green card’ it’s the role and experience that matter.

If you are married then you spouse can work on an L2 so maybe that’s the advantage

@Mck1,have you initiated your I140 under EB1C? It’s. Better route to get GC and get out ASAP if that’s the plan...

Hi! I’m an Indian national in the US looking to renew my H1B visa. My work permit is valid but by H1B has expired. All appointments in US consulates in India have been full for the past 2-3 months. Looking to see if I could do this in another country - I’ve heard Brazil, Dubai are options. Have any of you tried this? Where did you go / would you recommend?

Thanks all in advance for your help
