H1 to L1 conversion

Would H1b to L1 conversion be a good way to work around the H1b extension cancellation issue ?

You need to leave for 1 yr.

In the same company abroad ? What happens to the existing green card application, does it have to be restarted?

Have to be your future L1 company. Not sure about PD linking. I don't think anyone needed coverting in the past.

Great question and would like to know what happens to the PD. Probably will consult a lawyer. I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Let us know if you find out!

You can’t convert.

L1 is not an option i think. L1 is given for 3 years and if you want extension, you’ve work for a year in your actual country (country from where you opted for l1) before extending the visa to 3 more years.

If i am able to hold off for 3 years and maintain PD, hopefully things will be better when next government comes in. However beginning to think that this shit is seriously not worth it.

Trump will win again in 2020.. Democrats are planning Elizabeth Warren as their candidate for 2020.. 🤣

Leave, come as L1A, you get your green card in 1 year, India is current for L1A! No waiting time.

^This 👍🏻

Does L1A need special skills? Surprising many people haven’t already gone this route considering the long wait time.

Stop trying to game the system.

The system wants to deport them still they want to come back. No back bone. If it was me I was gone tomorrow.

They are sucking money off you moochers and taking as much with them as possible. They're probably not going to spend it on America.
