L1A petition during acquisition

[echo_nomad]

Hello Everyone,

My company (Let us call it company X) applied for an L1A petition to bring me over to the US. While the petition is still being reviewed by USCIS, company X was acquired by Company Y (employees in the US branch were absorbed into company Y and I was told company X no longer "exists") and the offshore branch I work for is now owned by Company Y. Has anyone else been in this situation? Will company Y be able to file a new L1A petition for me or do I not qualify anymore for L1?

Thanks,

But from what I know, the proceeding should continue with no change. Y should fild a new L1 within a few month, and you should be approved.
