Hello,
I am currently on L1B and would be completing my five year stay on Nov'15. I had applied for H1 visa this year but could not get through the lottery process. If I return to India in Nov., I cannot apply for H1 next year since I'll be in my cooling off period. The only other option that I am exploring currently is getting L1A on which I hope to get 2 more years of stay.
1. If my L1A gets approved, what are my long term options to continue my stay in US?
2. If I apply for GC on EB2 (my company might not file in EB1) and get my I-140 approved, will I be able to stay in USA on my L1A visa , getting extension every year like it happens for H1 visa holders who apply for GC?
3. If I get L1A this year, is applying H1 an option next year for me (I am completing 6 years in US next year)?
Thanks!
