Re: [URGENT] L1B>GC, Adjustment of Status or Consular Processing

Your last sentence is what they are trying to do.

Why is there so much information around implying that CP is quicker than AOS? Is that all misinformation or is there some truth to it?

Re: On L-1B - Company Telling Me To Switch H-1B

Thanks

Given this, do you think it would make sense to apply for the H1B whilst under my current visa?

Ian - i'd be keen to get your thoughts on this as you've given me some good advice in the past.
