L1A Visa Query

[sourav_tech]

Hello,

I have a valid H1B visa till yr of 2017 (first 3 yrs period). Now, can my employer file another L1A visa for me? If its approved, can I have both visa together from the same company? What is the processing timeline for L1A visa? After getting L1A visa, how soon the employer can start my Green Card process?

Please suggest with the details.

Yes, you can carry both visas together. But can use only one at a time (decided on POE).

L1A visa processing time (application to visa) depends on its type - Blanket (3-4 weeks) , normal (3-4 months), premium (4 weeks).

Your employer can file for your GC under EB1c immediately when you reach USA, however it is suggested to wait for 2-3 months.
