After all this time of planning to move to the US and do it the DCF (Direct Consular Filing) way... David's company (when told we are leaving) says "ooh ooh, wait a bit and we might be able to transfer you to the US." So we're in a small little limbo here, waiting to see if the US branch actually needs him. If they do, his company wants to send him over on an L-1 visa, which is an internal transfer visa. We'd do it that way because they would want him sooner rather than later, and won't want to wait the 3-4 months for us to do the DCF. And we don't want to start the DCF while there's the possibility of a work transfer, especially because with the L-1 we wouldn't have to get a joint financial sponsor (which we are Dreading)... the theory is that we go to the US on the L-1 and then immediately begin the Adjustment of Status process, trying to get him some other kind of permanent visa that isn't linked to his job.
Anyone with experience on this? Is the Adjustment of Status even possible on the L-1? I'm totally confused by the info I've found so far. I'll probably poke around the Brit expat sites as well and ask there, since they're more likely to have people who've gone through this - but I thought I'd ask here anyway.
I'd be *thrilled* if his company actually came through for us, but they've been nothing but jerks so far so we're not expecting much.
Still... I'm keeping every finger I have crossed 4 or 5 times...
