L-1 to GC

11 years ago By Chief Editor

Question details

I am on L-1 visa until 2015, according to my employer's attorney the I-140 form was already approved, now my employer does not want to continue with the I-485 form process (because they don't want to pay attorney's fees) and will not release any information related to my case, do I have any chance to continue with the GC process by myself? Or will I be facing deportation at the L-1 visa expiration date?

There is no problem with you paying the I-485 fees. But the employer must be involved to the extent that they need to provide a (truthful) letter evidencing continuity of your employment.

It is always pleasure talking to Mr. Khanna about immigration related issues, his expertise in the immigration field are acknowledge by all the attorneys. I once had a talk over the phone with attorney who was based at west coast, during the discussion with the attorney, I mentioned that we are east coast based so he instantly mentioned Mr. Khanna's name and he praised about him as an attorney. I was really touched by this that we work with such a great attorney.
