Geting GC with just L1A Petition

[michaeljkm]

Hi,

I have a valid L1-A petition till May 2014, can GC be filed from my company with that under EB1. Some people are saying L1-A visa stamping should be present for applying GC in EB1.
Is that true?

Please help.

Thanks,

I dont think that is true. The employer can file I140 while you are abroad.



Multinational managers or executives who have been employed for at least one of the three preceding years by the overseas affiliate, parent, subsidiary, or branch of the U.S. employer. The applicant’s employment outside of the U.S. must have been in a managerial or executive capacity, and the applicant must be coming to work in a managerial or executive capacity. The prospective employer must provide a job offer and file an Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, Form I-140, with the USCIS.




This is my opinion not legal advice.
