Is it possible to file for a US green card if you are based in Canada but have a L1A visa? What does that look like?

Yes you just file an EB-1(C) and when you file the I-485 you have to stay in the United States until USCIS accepts it. You could also do consular processing instead of I-485, but I would not recommend.

No

Is it possible? Yes. What does it look like? Like every other GC application filed under a qualifying L1A visa category

I am seriously worried. I am doing my co-op and my supervisor is not giving me an easy time. I am trying to do my best even with very little direction and this supervisor constantly harassing my about things like her not being able to use google meet or to remember passwords. I feel bullied and very anxious. I am afraid she can jeopardize my visa with a bad evaluation. I have been working at midnight, on Sunday mornings but I am human, I make mistakes, she just blames me instead of teaching.

My thoughts on the candidates:

COVID: Biden
North Korea: Trump
Economic Boom: Trump
Economic Recovery: Biden
Healthcare: Biden
Trade With China: Trump
NATO: Biden
Immigration: Split
Race Relations: Biden
Environment: Biden

Need advice. Currently at $142k base. 3 years and 1 month left before I max out of H1b. Just got my PWD issued through current employer though their immediate reaction is subtly letting me know they’re not in a hurry to start recruitment. Got an offer today for $160k base. Similar role, both are good teams, etc. Do I politely decline and see my GC process through or accept and get more money? Feel like current employer will drag their feet as long as they can for retention purposes.
