Anyway, congrats to Paul

That's really great news for us as I didn't really expect them to pick up the tab for the whole thing too.
We're in Texas, so does anyone know what sort of timeframe we're looking at? Also, am I right in saying that once you've applied you can't leave the country? If so, we can't start the process until end of June because we're going back to Blighty for a vacation.
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul
My husband and I are in the same position as you. We put all our paperwork in for the Green card in January - the case has just been transferred from CA to Texas so we are now waiting. As everybody has said you don't need AP with the L1 visa (our lawyer told us after she had applied!)
I will keep you posted if we get any news on our green card.
