Hello everyone,

 

I'm going for an internal transfer in my company from Egypt to the U.S and they can issue L1 visa for me.

 

The problem is I'm currently DQ for CR1 visa and only waiting for Interview in Embassy of US in EGYPT for my marriage based green card but it will take so long as it's backlogged around 6 months to be able to get the interview and green card.

 

Will the embassy reject the L1 visa application because of the situation or it's fine? and when I go there can I complete the process (all is done anyway only waiting for interview) to get the green card? Company doesn't have immigration lawyer so I'm seeking help here.

 

Thanks!

Actually your problem is that your Employer does not have an Immigration Lawyer, or do you mean they do not have one yet and are going to appoint one.

 

L1 is dual intent so does not itself conflict with a CR1 and you could switch to adjusting status.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

I know some of the larger multinational companies will have in house capability otherwise they would use a Lawyer.

 

Is this L1A or L1B

 

Does the Company have blanket approval.

L1A and the company have blanket approval "Blanket Petition Processing" as called in the website but they didn't mention when they do use it or let you file individually with USCIS.

Blanket is a lot quicker.

 

Who at your Employer will be filing the petition if not a Lawyer? Usually beyond HR.
