Thank you so much for the detailed response. 

This is very helpful! 

You made my day!

Hi VJ community, 

I'm in a unique situation and hope that you can help me with. 

Here are some background:

I filed K1 application for my gf at the end of April. We want to be together and I'm planning to visit her when countries allow traveling again. 

She decided to find a job while waiting for the visa. She landed a job in an international company in late July. The job typically requires traveling to US every few months. This is paused due to COVID. 

Her HR told her that they will get a L1 visa for her. might be those blanket approval type. 

Here are my questions: 

1. Does K1 application have any impact on L1 or vice versa? 

2. Given that she has L1 visa first, does this mean that she can travel to US and we can just go and register? and she can work while waiting for AOS?

3. if she gets K1 first, does it make sense to wait until L1 approval? assuming it's still within 6 months after K1 approval. 

4. I saw L1 requires visa applicant work for the sponsored company for at least 1 year. Does this mean she can get L1 visa and work there for 1 year and then move to US?

5. If she has both L1 and K1 visas, should she use L1? what's your recommended strategy?

Thank you!
