So would my way work?

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.

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?

Hi I'm about to graduate with a BS in Computer Science in Germany. I don't really want to do a Master's because in order to finally earn some money myself and grow in my career. My goal is to emigrate to the US, preferably to Southern California to work as a software engineer. My plan would be to work for 3 years after graduation and then somehow immigrate to the US. I can also imagine spending a large part of my life in the US, which is why US citizenship is definitely interesting for me. How do I achieve the goal of getting the green card as quickly as possible as I don't want to have other visas that are too tied to an employer for a long time because that could jeopardize my whole new existence there since I have to find a new job within 30 days of being laid off? Of course, I will always apply to the green card lottery, but that doesn't assure me that I will eventually get to the US. Which visa would make the most sense and is the best? Without knowing much, it seems like the EB2A visa would be the best, but there is the thing that I need a Master's degree or a Bachelor's degree with 5 years of work experience. I'd also be interested in how likely it is that I get this visa with a bachelor and 5 years of work experience? So what is the acceptance rate for this case? I'm bothered by the high uncertainty of ever living in the US. There is also the possibility of being transferred by an international company with German and US offices. But I don't know how fast I can get a green card there. So for me, the most important goal is to get a green card as soon as possible. Maybe someone has some ideas/tips on how best to proceed.
