Will L1A visa still be valid once Green Card approved

[Esha123 0]

I am an Indian, living in India. My fiance entered US with L1A visa and recently received Green Card.  Please let me know will L1A visa still be valid after receiving permanent resident or it will become invalid upon receiving green card.  Can he use his L1A status to take me as an dependent immediately or we should go only through Permanent Resident status by priority date as he got his PR.

Once your fiancé become an LPR, the L1A visa is no longer active.  He has already adjusted his status to LPR, and in my view cannot enter with the L1 visa. You should be applying as spouse of LPR (F2A category).

Go through his Permanent Resident status. You'll apply for F2A. He no longer has L1A status.

If you are not married, you have no path to immigrate through him.

My query is different. Your answer is irrelavant and doesnt help me anyways. Useless.

What good catch you found? Forum is to help others to clarify with their doubts not for useless comments and just pass time.

Now that he is a permanent resident you would need to get married before he can sponsor you for permanent residence. His L1-A is no longer valid.

If he is a LPR, you need to be married, then he can file for you.   That category can still be processed but the ability to issue a visa is currently halted due to a presidential proclamation.  The L1A is not valid anymore.

 

If he ins't a LPR, you are not married and not a dependant.

This is the best answer.

@Jorgedig answer is blunt but no one here is waste their time and yours.  The time to ask is before any filings on your fiance's behalf.  Not being married give you no path or options.   A LPR, dual intent visa holder or non immigrant visa holder can not apply for a fiance.

 

Marriage may be your only path.  Of this has been a long term relationship, your fiance should have known the options better before leaving you.

Nope, it’s completely relevant.   Only US citizens can petition fiancés.

Exactly. And if one is in India and one is in the US, they need to be able to get both in the same country to marry before a petition can be filed.

Completely relevant.  You asked if he could use his L1A status to take you to the US as a dependent IMMEDIATELY.  The answer is no for several reasons.  One is that he can't take you IMMEDIATELY because you're not married.

Just because the answer you get is not the answer you want, it doesn't make the answer irrelevant or useless.  It does help you, but you're angry because it's not the answer you want.

 

THE ONLY WAY for you to join him is for him to marry you and then file in the F2a category.   There is no IMMEDIATELY in immigration.

I hope the OP realizes that there may be a reason that her fiance acted the way he did by not marrying her prior to getting the L1A and that they have a long discussion about that.    Now that he has LPR he can travel back to India and put a ring on her finger and start the process.
