Hi all,

My boyfriend may be getting a job transfer to his company's US headquarters.

We filed for a fiance visa in june, so this is sort of unexpected news to get but good so we may end up cancelling the fiance visa petition.

If he goes the L1 visa route the disadvantage is we are tied to one city, where we both don't want to live in necessarily and at the moment I can't find work there. If he arrives though sponsored by the company, and we get married 3 months down the line, how long does it take for us the change his visa for a spousal visa so he can get a green card. Must he stay with his L1 visa for a certain amount of time?

Hope this makes sense?!

L1 is a dual intent visa and can lead to a GC by itself. If you want to marry, you can marry anytime, and he can adjust his status. It takes about 3-6 months right now.

HIs company is paying for the visa, so if your plan is just to quit the job, maybe it's better to stick the the K-1, or stay at the job a bit more.
