Legal Question in Immigration Law in Massachusetts

Hello,

I am on a L1A visa and have previously got my visa extended in USA. This is my final extension. My company is about to file my L1A extension under normal processing. Soon after (within a week or two) they plan to file my GC under EB-1C category. My I-94 is valid till 7/31/2015.

I am thus eager to know, if above is the right strategy? Should I file my L1A extension using premium processing? OR should I wait till my L1A extension gets approved and then file my GC.

I just want to make sure that my intent and actions are within the boundaries of good practice.

Thanks.

It doesn't matter; if your L-1A extension is approved & your I-140 is approved, then you can file for adjustment of status. If your L-1A extension is denied but your I-140 is approved, you can still Consular Process. If your L-1A extension is approved but your I-140 is denied, then you will need to re-file the I-140 or come up with an alternative. If it was my client, I would not have not waited until the last minute to file the I-140. Under these circumstances, I would file the L-1A extension & I-140 simultaneously & see what gets approved.

However, the filing strategy is up to the attorney who is handling your case, so you should really be discussing this with them.
