Re: L1-A to E2 Dependent - I-539

You appear to have caught that, pursuant the facts posted by OP, an I-140 may no longer be a viable option. That said, you don't ask about the changes to OP's L-1A non-immigrant status.

Re: L1-A to E2 Dependent - I-539

Retired immigration lawyer here - your post raises some big red flags in my mind. An old colleague of mine often wrote about the issues involved when the employer in an E/H/L situations changed by...

Re: Moving to Orange County from London

OP will see for themselves, but IMHO your information is a tad out of date. OC is not as conservative as it used to be.

Re: Moving to Orange County from London

I think the best answers are from current or recent residents of OC.

Much in US taxes are local. Sales tax rate in LA County is 10.25% while OC is 7.75%. On big purchases this can make for a...

Re: Moving to Orange County from London

I live in LA County. But do have a little familiarity with the metropolitan area including OC. You do not give the location of your employment. OC is a fairly sizeable place. It can make a big...

Re: L1A Visa at London Embassy: Experience & Tips

The OP in this thread mentions a I-129S. This indicates that the petitioning organization has been approved to file multiple petitions - they are ahead of the game, so to speak.

Re: Rishi Sunak held Green Card for 6 years as MP

He has always known that he was a US Citizen. He just complained loudly if and when it bit him on the ass - it is ridiculous and unfair and I am not complying.

Re: Rishi Sunak held Green Card for 6 years as MP

If memory serves me correctly, I think there is a regulation buried in the naturalization provisions that filing a non-resident tax return raises a rebuttable presumption of abandonment of LPR and...

Re: Help with 221g
