One thing that just came to mind:
I have founded a company in Germany with someone else. It is apparent that it should develop well economically in the next few years.

Would it be possible as a German to open a branch company in the US and then transfer there with a L-1A or maybe O-1 visa?
Would it also be possible to apply for EB-1C green card?

And just assuming, which I hope won't be the case, that the company would go bankrupt and I would have an EB-1C visa, could I then start working in another company as a normal employee without any problems?

I have family members who were offered a move to the US on a L, so definitely a thing, I have also met people who came over to the US originally on a L and were then sponsored in an EB category.

Yeah, that this path exists is known; we had discussed it here in the thread.
What I meant is that I set up a US branch company based on my German company and transfer via L-1 to that US company and then file for EB.

L is used by Foreign Companies to set up US operations. Everybody has to start somewhere.

So would my way work?
