[I know there is big uncertainty - would appreciate any unfiltered thoughts though]
I plan to move to US in early 2017. I have an approved H1B visa and am able to get an L visa too. Employer is a known company with high salary.
For the purpose of staying in the US for many years (get a green card), which of H1B vs L is better?
Pre-elections I would say H1B since even if things do not work out with my first employer I get a chance to switch one.
But post elections...
- Which visa would be faster to green card? (employer will start process asap).
- Do you think Trump actions would affect existing H1B holders? Are there multiple intermediate approvals / extensions which I need to get in H1B that are now at risk?
- My spouse wants to work after 1 year. We were counting on getting EAD, is it expected to take a hit too?
- Can I go the L path but if something goes wrong with employer revert to H1B?
I appreciate any feedback!
