My husband and I are in the US on a L1 & L2 visa, we put in for our application for a green card on the 5th April 2009, we have today received notification that we have been approved and our cards will be with us within 3 weeks.

We are sooooooo happy, and wanted to share our good news with everone on this site as the information and advice we gathered here helped us to achieve our goal. Thank you all so much.

Excellent news! Assume you were in the EB1 category with no wait??? It takes the sting out of immigration. Just your naturalization 5 years down the road and you can wipe your hands of USCIS forever! Don't forget to file AR11 every time you change address.

My husband was put through as an international manager and the company paid the additional $1000 for the fast tracking process. Money well spent because it now means we feel more settled and less stressed.

Great News!

I was also thinking of doing this but unsure of what the actual process is....

I have had a L1a for the last 3 years?

Am I eligible to apply? if so what is the process?

The company needs to apply for you. The length of the process depends on whether you are EB1, 2 or 3.
