Default L1a visa to GC. How long does it take

Greetings and Happy New Year to all.
What is the average time lapse from going from an L1a visa to a GC?
Many thanks and best to all for 2015.

With the company's cooperation and no RFE's... about 6-8 months. Otherwise, never. The company must start the process on your behalf.

The link below has my timeline, I would look at other cases on here if you want to get an idea of timeframe, you can select other cases with similar criteria to yours:

my I-485 was not filed concurrent.

I also had mine chased by "my" local Senator, so not sure if that made it quicker or not.

Ours took about five and a half months including one RFE. We filed concurrently.

Hope this helps

OP does not give enough in the way of facts to even begin to give an estimate. For example, is the L-1A for a "new office?" That delays the filing.

The internet acronym of YMMV applies.

Many thanks for all your replies. The company is a large ,long established US based MNC. I have worked for them over a decade. The proposal to move is very recent so we (wife and I plus 3 kids) are trying to figure it out if it is suitable or not.
Thanks again and best for z2015.
