hi all - I came to the US on an L1-A visa earlier this year.
My company has applied for a green card on my behalf, category EB1, multinational manager. Application was filed in October, I am waiting for my I-140 to be issued. This should hopefully happen by end February (maybe that is optimistic
).
My current role is being eliminated as a result of restructuring, and my company has offered me an alternative role. This would involve relocating from New York to LA, and switching to a different business area. I would continue to have a managerial/executive role, though my day to day responsibilities would be different to the job I had when my employer made the original GC application.
I have the following questions, and would be enormously grateful for any advice:
1. does it make any difference to my current GC application if: (1) I relocate from NY to LA? (2) my responsibilities change (whilst I still continue to be managerial/executive employee)
2. is the answer to either of the above different if my I-140 is approved before my location or responsibilities change?
3. if I decide to take a job with a different employer, I assume that ends my current GC application. Does that change if I stay with my current employer until I get my I-140? Once the I-140 is issued, is there a way I can pursue a GC myself, or with a different employer, or must I remain with my current employer thru the adjustment of status phase?
4. any recent views/experiences on length of time to obtain a GC via the EB1 route?
Any advice most gratefully received.
Thank you
