USA L1, L2 Visa
1

Hi,

My L1 is going to expire in March 2013.

I came to US In Oct 2011.

Can I file Green card? What is the process? How much time it takes to approve?

Will my employer would have to file or i can talk to ay onther company?

My wife is on L2 EAD and working in US. Can she apply for her green card independent of me?

Please suggest.

Thanks.

Yes, you can apply for Green Card. GC processing time could be in years depending on the priority and your country of birth (Visa Bulletin For June 2012)

Your employer has to do the Green Card processing for you. I think, some other company too can file for GC.



I am not sure if GC can be applied for a person on L2 status - please have this checked with some immigration attorney.
