Hello All,
This is a long story but will try to make in short
My spouse is in L1 - B Visa. I am in L2 Visa with EAD (already approved). The company where I was employed in my home country is a US based company. They decided to move me to US in 2015 since I wanted to quit and move to US. The company tried my L1- B visa but it got denied ( will not go into details of why )
So I am currently working for the same company but in L2 - Visa with EAD
My company is obviously concerned about that and want me to move to a different Visa status so that my work permit & visa is not dependent on my spouse employment. Hence we started preparations for my H1 Visa processing . NOTE - I work remotely from different city. Basically the same location from where my spouse works. My company does not have any office in my city. I work from home
I got to know today that IRS or some other department ( not sure which dept of US govt) rejected the labor certification because I work from different city and my company does not have any office in this city. So basically I cannot apply for H1 Visa as well.
What are my options to move out of L2 Visa and still be able to work in US
NOTE -
The company where my spouse works has initiated processing for Green Card. They are aiming for eb1 status. Current status is- They will file application with USCIS for EB1 status by next month...This is just as FYI...
Another Point - My Spouse L1 B visa is reaching 3 year mark this December. It can get extended to another 2 years and the same applies to my L2 Visa & EAD. Hence the company where my spouse works has also initiated processing for H1 Visa
Any help or suggestion is appreciated !!
Thanks
