Hi,
I have a valid H1B Visa till August 2020, My port of entry to USA was October and I have been working here for the past 5 months and I was intended to travel back to India end of 2019. Due to unforeseen circumstances, My employer is willing to convert my H1B to L1A, since I have been doing Manager and Functional activities, along with my technical duties. My employer has promoted me and I have reportees under me in Onshore as well onshore now. The reason behind conversion is client has renewed the contract for next 5 years and couple of manager released from this project.
I have 5 years of experience with this current company and 5 months of onsite for the same company.
My questions:
1. I fulfilled L1 requirement, since I worked for the same company for the past 5 years before I entered US(October 2018) but in pure technical role and it got changed now to manager or executive role. Am I eligible ?
2. How long it will take for me to do Change of status to L1A if under normal process? ETA of approved petition hard copy.
3. How long it will take for me to Change of status to L1A if under premium processing? ETA of approved petition hard copy.
4. My L1 Change of Status is also done for my dependents (Spouse and Kid). They are currently in India, what is process for them to change from H4 to L2. Do I have to fill the DS-160 again for them and schedule an interview with consulate.
5. What are all the documents I need to submit to prove that I am now on a different role (I have organisation chart, Email exchange between Candidates who I recruited for this project)
