Originally posted by raghvi View PostYou are right, EB2 for India will take you nearly 8 Years in order for priority date to be current. L1B is for max 5 Years, and L1A is for max 7 Years. As you have already spent 5 Years in US, so eventually your L1 Status will expire before priority date becomes current. Few options, either convince your employer to file EB1, or try to move to H1 before your 7 Years completes. As H1 can be extended beyond 6 th Year, L1, cannot be.

Originally posted by Libra_14 View PostRaghavi, please clear my doubt. Once the GC application is filed under EB category, the applicant can stay & work in USA in anticipation of an positive response (i.e. extending 5 or 7 year limit. Isn't it?

My question is if the applicant can "legally stay" in USA awaiting response of GC petition after 5/7 years.- I am not an Attorney, hence not giving any legal advice. Just sharing MY opinion with an intent to help others.

L1A to Green Card - Time and Cost
I've been working with my company in the USA for 6 months.
- I'm on L1A visa.
- Have been with company (its overseas entity for over 9 years). i moved to us on L1A after that.
I have two questions:
- How long would it take to get my green card (start to finish) - I know the time varies, but what has been the experience of others in recent case.
assuming all paperwork and application etc are all correct.
- How much does it cost in total (i have to pay, my company has to pay, etc)
Thanks for the reply.

My country of birth is India.
EB1 - 1-2 Year to get GC.
EB2 - 6-8 Years to get GC
EB3 - 8-12 Years to get GC
This is my opinion not legal advice.

Do you know much it cost (approximately, from start to finish)? Would the cost be the same irrespective of category - EB1, EB2, EB3?
