Hi,

I have a B. of Math, with computer science major. ( 4 years ).

I have been working in the field for over 5 years.

I'm being transferred to the us. If my employer can show there are no qualified
people in area to do my job what are the chances of RIR through exceptional ability
EB2 ? Does the fact that it is a transfer make a difference in that I can't be taking
a job away for Americans because I would still work in current location if RIR fails.

Would I be able to get an immigration lawyer to write a letter to the company I work
for stating that in his opinion EB2 RIR would be the suggested route to take ?

I was under the impression that 'exceptional' meant something along the lines of a
Nobel Prize or, at a minimum, "significant contribution" to a field as noted by peers

I'm not sure the letter from a lawyer would make any difference. I think it would be
more important to get letters for item 6 on the page above.

If you're being transferred isn't the standard visa L-1? Or H-1B?

I think nobel prices means eb1. Most pro atheletes for major sports get eb1.

I heard though something about computer programmers being outside of 10 year exp.
needed - rather they need 5 years. I think 5 years qualifies as advanced degree. I
don't know I'll be talking to some immigration lawyers soon. There was a case against
the INS a couple of years ago that forced them to accept 5 years or clarify their own
rules. I'm not a lawyer though.

I was RIR because it is faster route to green card than standard H1B.

If you are being transferred to the U.S., your best bet would to be transferred as an
L-1A manager. This allows for a totla of 7 years in the U.S. in L-1A status. If you
are currently a maanger in your home country, it also allows for a fast track to a
green card under one of the EB-1 categories.

If you are not a manager, and come under either an L-1B or H-1B, you may eihrre
file an EB-1 as an extraordinary individual, or have to go through the RIR process.
If there are no qualified U.S. individuals that apply, your green card case should
go smoothly.

For more information on L-1's and green card options, feel free to review the
material on my firm's web site at www.srs-usvisa.com
