@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

[@bahroz]

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…

[@maximilianoherrera789]

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

[@jeffertongoulart9368]

Hi Mr. Bahroz, that's a great video! How was your interview at the consulate? My petition was accepted last month, and I will have my interview in the upcoming weeks.

[@bahroz]

Luckily I didn’t get picked for the interview.. but to answer your question I plan to bring in a lawyer on the channel for a podcast on this topic

[@natashag3661]

Hi! Thanks so much for the video! Would like to check: do I understand correctly, that while we are on the L1A visa, there will be no scope for promotion as it will change the title of the role? Thanks again!

[@bahroz]

Yes there is no scope unless you get your EAD

[@shaheenthakur7222]

Hi @Bahroz, Thank you for the information! Would you be knowing as to what are the medical conditions that can hamper the Green Card issuance ?

[@bahroz]

It’s usually something that is contagious examples : tuberculosis (TB), syphilis, gonorrhea, and leprosy.

Hi Bahroz - This was extremely informative. Thank you for sharing your experience! Just had a question - Was your PR application under EB1C category? And would you know if PR application can be filed under EB1C while moving with an H1B visa?

[@bahroz]

Yes to question 1 and I am not sure about your second question as I only have experience with L1A

[@subbusap498]

Hi @Bahroz - Thank you. Very useful information. Could you please share your attorney details.

[@bahroz]

The attorney that I used was assigned by my employer.. however since then I have explored the following Do it Yourself visa process... it provides a toolkit for you to be able to submit your application and would save you a ton of money ... check them out: staging1.usavisanow.com/product/?ap_id=usvisabah

[@afride33]

Thank you for videos brother I didn’t found the L1 transfer processor video can you please share with me thank you 🙏

[@bahroz]

Thanks.. Will make it soon..

[@arnabkundu6211]

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?

[@bahroz]

Yes it was EB1

[@sathinarra]

Thanks for the information, very helpful. Did your i140 got applied in Premium or Regular processing?

[@bahroz]

All regular… that premium option did not apply to my case with the type of green card I applied for

[@MusicMosaic180]

Hello Sir, can you also please share your experience with regards to interview for L1A.

[@bahroz]

Hi there was no interview… I was not called for an interview

[@shvait]

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?

[@bahroz]

My country category was canada but let me also call out that conversion from L1A to green card doesn’t have a quota so it is not citizenship biased

[@shvait]

​@@bahroz Oh. This is a revelation for me, if true. I have been so far unable to confirm this insight on citizenship-based quote for L1A to GC move.

[@rahulsharmavlog3388]

Great information, Can you share details on the timeline of L1b to Green card ?

[@bahroz]

Since L1b is dual intent as well so more or less same timelines should apply

[@lasallemom1]

We moved in September 2021 as L1b visa. We applied for green cards, advanced parole and work authorization in April 2023. We received the work authorization quickly, all but myself have advanced parole papers and we are waiting for any movement to green card process. It has been one year since we submitted these papers.

[@rohanutep81]

Hi Bahroz, what was the title you got the L1-A visa??

[@bahroz]

My title was director but it works equally on manager title as well

[@ericlovemaomao]

Hi, Bahroz, do you need to hire 7 to 10 employees in US in order to apply green card as a L1 visa holder?

[@bahroz]

Explain more on that what do you mean hiring employees? You mean people reporting to you ??

[@user-vy4tu1dp8n]

Hi Bahroz I'm in a similar situation as you. I was transferred to the US (Texas) from Canada with my two daughters and my wife. I'm wondering if you can refer me to a lawyer who can help me apply for a green card, please. Thank you

[@HAPPINESSByReshma]

After how many years staying in US, did you apply for green card? Given L1b is five years visa, can we apply during that period?

[@bahroz]

I started my process the day I landed in usa but actual submission took 3 months

[@shaishavupadhyay5620]

Hi, did you move under L1A or L1B? Is it true that the process of getting green card from L1A is faster than L1B?

[@bahroz]

Hi I moved under L1 a and yes I would assume it’s easier and faster that way

[@WallStreetSilver777]

How long does L1B takes for getting green card for Indian national but Canadian PR?

[@bahroz]

It should be more or less similar timeline as L1A

[@WallStreetSilver777]

@@bahroz how come? Wouldn’t L1B person go through H1B ???

[@srimanravikanti]

@@bahrozI think L1B is not eligible for EB1C, hence he or she has to go through EB2 route for GC which would take 50 years approximately…😅

Hello Sir, I am holding L1B visa. But rightnow my company does not have any requirement in USA (Automation Testing). What is the alternative? How can I get chance? Do I need to wait or I have to try for H1B?
