@Bahroz - Congratulations! Thanks a lot for sharing your journey. Very informative. Quick questions 1- Do we need to be physically present in US to apply for GC? 2- I am a Canadian Citizen and due to some commitments I was thinking to get L1A and come back to Canada and work from here as mine is Remote. 3- Do you see any issues if I process GC till medical stage from Canada and move to US at that point and stay back until I get my GC. Thanks

Hi yes you can do it remotely like apply in usa and then wait for medical… once they call you for medical then you come back and stay in usa till the application gets processed…

You had lucky is the only thing that I can said. I know people who applied from L1 in the same dates like you and they have I485 at the beginning without biometrics appointment

Thanks for explaining. Very helpful. One question - was your green card application in EB1 category or EB 2? Asking because some of the requirements you are saying for L1 seem to be the same as EB1C. So in which situations would a company opt to bring an employee to US on L1 versus EB1C directly?

Hi Behroz. Very helpful video. Have a quick question, if you'd be kind to respond. ---Did you not face the Priority Date/backlog issue when moving from L1A to EB1C? Something that folks from India and China face? Which country category did you fall into?

It has been one year since we submitted these papers.

Congrats Bahroz. My priority date is close to yours at 19 Sep 2022. I assume you were also in EB1 as me and my family. My question is that EB1 for India was not current in 2023 and even now it is not current. That is what I am awaiting now to let it become current. How did you managed to get it when the EB1 india priority dates were not current ? Thanks.

Hi bahroz abbas, I have few doubts regarding L1B expiry... 1. What if L1B reached to extended period i.e 5years does company apply for new L1 b visa or we have to come outside of US for a year and apply H1B? 2. What about green card through L1B visa, I heard that getting Green card takes years to come like 50-100 years is it true? If so what is L1B visa holders) approach towards green card?
